Greece has not finished shining on the whole world thanks to Lalaounis.
The Lalaounis Style
In line with the personality of a creator passionate about antiques and in love with his heritage, the signature Lalaounis is a jewel full of history and contemporary in its design. Born in Athens, Ilias Lalaounis draws from his heritage and listens to the ancient vestiges telling him the art of his ancestors. He then decided to revive a long tradition of goldsmithing by drawing on ancestral techniques and giving new life to museum artifacts. Through modern creations inspired by the old, he brings out a spiritual link with the past that has never been altered. These modern jewelry imbued with antiquity play with anachronism and transcend the ages because beauty is timeless.
The shine of the gold that never tarnishes
Lalaounis dazzles us because its golds are dazzling. And that only they have the right to shine. Neglecting everything that is not gold, he devotes himself exclusively to the precious metal that he hammers, turns, braids... because it is the purest material, the most authentic, the most "human" according to him. Hence the reputation of the House, which is known for giving life to the material. The alchemy here is to take it out of the museums in which it was frozen. With Lalaounisgold is melted like the times; the temporal spaces telescope thanks to its flexibility, its malleability and also to its timelessness.
