Gem Spots... in Athens
Athens is a pure paradise for jewellery lovers.
There are many shops full of silver jewellery from young designers (makers, crafty/arty people, registered, unregistered....or how you call them) The special thing about silver jewellery in Greece is that they are full of colour, ribbons, enamel and photos are used by many or oxides that bring out colours in silver.
An other trend going on quite some years in Greek jewellery (and i think it started from Thessaloniki acctually) are the really hand crafted ones with stiches, beads, fabrics, buttons, newspapers (and so on... from woodpegs to barbie heads) that are 100% one offs. No duplicate found! ... And even at the flee stools at Thision or Gazi you can spot out some worthwhile shopping.
So if you find yourself in the streets of Athens jot these spots on your map for a gooood treasure hunt.
Elsa's Wire Ideas: 7, Perikleous st. Syntagma, tel: +30 210 3243130 - a very colourful shop with upcoming Greek names like Joanna Cave and Lillian Syrigou and many many others
Fuga: 35 Themistokleous St. Exarheia +30 2103844413 - Dina has the workshop inside and makes beautiful bags, shoes, jewells, but also chooses all the jewellery that goes in the shop from the makers and she has a really great eye for things. All one offs and very very special :-)
Homofaber: 7 Voulis St. Syntagma + tel: 30 210 322992 - This is an extremely small little shop filed up to the top with jewellery. Its a little cube out of nowhere in the middle of the pavement on Voulis street. And while you're there, drink a beer at Jockers on your right...(the waitress has earrings from this shop over here... Comme il Faux: 6 Plateia Karitsi tel :+ 30 210 3314004)
Ihnos: 6 Kydathinaionst. Plaka +30 210 3227995 - A nice clean and calm shop with great silver jewells
Arxipelagos: 142 Andrianou st. Plaka +30 210 3231321- It's in the middle of Plaka and under the Acropolis but not too touristy and you can find some hand made silver jewellery with stones from 70 euros.
