Elena Syraka

Elena Syraka was born in Athens, where she lives and works. Her studies in fashion & jewellery commenced with a degree from the renowned Veloudakis School of Fashion in Athens, where she received the first prize in textiles as well as with a Diploma in Fashion and Jewellery design in Paris. After that, she studied Gemology. Due to the often dramatic tone of her creations, Elena has regularly created pieces for cinema, theatrical plays, solo and group art exhibitions. Much of the emphasis for her collections lies in the uniqueness of form combined with the use of unconventional materials. The animating light which basks the birthplace of some of the world's greatest civilizations is the inspiration of Elena Syraka's collections of artistic jewelery.
