Atina began as a hobby that helped me through a difficult time in my life. It slowly grew into a small studio of handmade jewellery. What started as a way to find a little calm became a real love: sorting beads by colour, wiring stones one by one, watching a finished piece of jewellery take shape.

Every piece is still made the same way, by hand and in small batches, so no two are ever quite alike. My favourite part hasn't changed either: seeing something I made being worn by someone else. That is the whole reward.
