Andalios by Stella Karagianni
My creative journey is influenced by the Greek islands' serene landscapes, vibrant culture, and rich history. My love for nature is evident in the jewellery and objects I create, which reflect my unique perspective and connection to this enchanting place.
"True beauty lies in uniqueness"
Unlike using plaster molds, which allow for endless duplicates, I avoid their use to maintain the uniqueness of each creation.
This decision aligns with ANDALIOS dedication to being a plastic-free brand and my belief that beauty resides in individuality. Additionally, ANDALIOS embraces the natural aesthetic whenever possible by refraining from glazing the pieces.
All ceramic objects are unique, and peacefully made, respecting both time and nature.
"Slow down"
They all hold a special place in my heart as they do not only serve functional purposes but also add a touch of calmness and beauty to what each of us calls "home". The distinct patterns, textures, and colours of these objects transport me through time, connecting me to a place I consider my "home" - the Greek islands, evoking a sense of tranquillity and nostalgia.
"Respect nature"
All jewellery is inspired by the Greek islands' natural beauty and architecture. I aim to create wearable jewellery, from eye-catching statement pieces to elevated everyday essentials. By using sustainable materials and employing ethical production practices, I ensure that ANDALIOS jewellery aligns with my values. Each piece tells a story, capturing the essence of the Greek islands and their commitment to preserving the environment.
Through ANDALIOS sustainable ceramics I aim to inspire others to appreciate the beauty of nature and embrace a more eco-friendly lifestyle.
