Ileana Makri
A globetrotter at heart, Ileana Makri travels extensively for design inspiration. Her work is influenced by various religions and other beliefs including Greek mythology, by multicultural symbols and their meaning. She is particularly intrigued by the âevil eyeâ, a symbol that in many countries serves as protection from negative forces.
The collection has an irresistible feminine appeal, stamped by Ileanaâs refined aesthetic, astounding attention to detail and her boundless creativity. The underlying ârock chicâ approach to the design makes her jewelry uncompromisingly contemporary and simultaneously timeless. In her own words, Ileana Makri creates âjewelry to make every day specialâ.
Ileanaâs talent is internationally recognized and not only she has established collaborations with renowned fashion designers, but she has also captured the attention of high-profile clients such as Uma Thurman, Jennifer Lopez, Heidi Klum, Lenny Kravitz, Faith Hill, Rita Wilson, Ashley Olsen, Courtney Cox, and Debra Messing, to name a few.
