Anais Kostinou is a Greek designer and comes frοm an established family in the fine jewelry industry. For some years she lived and studied in Oxford, where she pursued a BA in Media Studies, Communication & Culture, and an MSc in RE Management (RICS accredited). Upon completion of her studies, she pursued her deep-rooted passion for jewelry, making her acknowledged debut in 2017. Anais is a passionate globetrotter, traveling extensively for design inspiration and sovereign gem finding. She holds her showroom boutique in her birthtown, Thessaloniki, as she shares her time between Greece and Switzerland, where her two homes stand. This culturally diverse lifestyle has sculpted her malleable artistic signature, as it has allowed her to embrace different cultures, values and landscapes within her crafts. The designer delves into the coexistence of classic and cutting-edge, as an appreciation of today's fierce, multifaceted, female presence. She releases engaging forms free of bounds, masterfully crafted to luxury adornments of enduring allure.
' I find myself always and forever intriguied by the strong contrasts that can create a sense of volume and dimensionality. To me shapes only matter when their foreseeable boundaries are broken. It is only then that one can experience a whole new universe of silhouettes, shadows and textures, aligning with the purpose of a real fine jewel, that can stimulate lifelong significance and ageless grandeur.'
