Which creation of the Zolotas House
coincides with Athens?
From the contemporary collections of
the Zolotas House, it is the Signet Ring,
the ring with the semi-precious stones,
on which the goddess Athena, patroness
of our city and goddess of wisdom, is
depicted. The bright colours of lazurite,
karneolis and agate highlights the relief
figures of the deity, bringing her eternal
wisdom in the ornate gold rings. The
Signet Ring is a jewel, which pre-existed
in Ancient Greece and the Zolotas House,
revives the finesse of this ancient art, with
our unique engraving technique.
How many «carats» do you believe
Athens worths?
In the course of time, from Pericles’
Golden Age until today, our city has
proved that is made out of pure 24k carat
gold. This city brings to light values,
sciences and arts that have influenced the
world cultural heritage.
Does Athens ispire your creations?
The heritage of the Zolotas House
-pioneer in the revival of the Greek
jewelry- is an inexhaustible source of
inspiration for creating jewellery. The
most significant influences come from the
ancient Greece and its cultural heritage,
with woman being the main focus of the
myths and the arts.
