all jewellery tells a story
a selection of bespoke sofianni pieces we have created over the years and their stories
sophia bespoke ring
The only pieces of jewellery Bryony inherited from her mother were two well worn brooches.
We used the rubies and old cut diamonds to make a statement ring to Bryony’s taste.
We created four new rings, personalising our signature double sophia ring in 18ct yellow gold with diamonds, a half-eternity rubies ring and an 18ct white gold ring with a stunning marquise-cut london topaz.
engagement ring
When asked if I wanted to design my own engagement ring, I knew it was not going to be easy!
I knew I wanted it blue. And I wanted it to have something of the “evil eye” about it. When I rolled the metal, I knew what I had to do.
Four pieces, for a wonderful lady
After Marie had bought a few of my signature pieces, she trusted me with remodelling her traditional solitaire sapphire ring .
The brief was: fun and versatile. This stack of three rings, using her oval sapphire and diamonds, came to life.
A year later we designed a pair of sapphire hoops with the line of floating diamonds for her birthday to complement the rings.
Sisters pedant
Hro commissioned this necklace straight after the birth of her second daughter.
She wanted a diamond pendant, to carry them always with her and she had a preference for white gold and diamonds.
This necklace is made of 18ct white gold and is set with over 60 brilliant cut diamonds.
arrow earrings
The focal point of this pair of earrings is the two unique, hand-cut aquamarines. I designed them for our wedding.
Handmade in Athens by our amazing craftsmen:
Alexis, the wonderful mounter
Agis, the excellent setter
Grigoris, the calm and kind polisher
They were delivered to me as I was getting into my wedding dress, in typical, Greek, last-minute style.
statement amethyst ring
I designed and made this ring back in 2011 and it was the first time I was trusted with a big stone. Considering the young, understated style of the client, designing for this 20ct amethyst was challenging.
I made the ring from a single piece of wire, hand forged into shape to make the stone look like it is floating.
two jigsaw pieces
For this piece, we upcycled an old piece of jewellery with great sentimental value. Georgia wanted to reuse the metal to create something meaningful to her.
Not a jewellery person, it took a lot of consultations to discover what she really wanted. It turned out, that she had dreamt of a jigsaw tattoo spelling ‘fantasy’ and ‘reality’, that she never had done.
I suggested two interlocking jigsaw bracelets, one satin and one highly polished with fantasy and reality embossed on the inside where only she can see them.
