Greek fine jewelry brand Costis hits U.S. retail shelves with collection of ingenious luxury. Having achieved widespread success throughout Greece and Italy, Costis Chamamtzis’ collection of moveable, wearable art is now available in the US market, and it is already causing a stir in the jewelry industry as one of the few new designers to be admitted to the Couture Show 2012.

Costis combines natural elements with architectural structure in each of his pieces, reflecting his major design influences. Costis is inspired by life and movement all around him, such as a city landscape, buildings or the design of everyday objects. He combines mechanics and form in his creations under the belief that jewelry should be as “alive as the person wearing it,” and thus become a part of the wearer. Perhaps his most recognizable pieces, Costis’ “Motion Rings,” add movement to beautiful design, allowing light to enter the carefully selected precious stones at all angles. These small, handmade masterpieces fascinate and illuminate.

Costis explains his design philosophy, “creativity has no limits and dynamic design is our power.” It is under these values that this artist founded The Costis House of Jewelry and Design, a vision which he had from a young age.
Costis developed his artistic eye as a child growing up in Greece, which lead him to study Jewelry and Industrial Design at the prestigious Benvenuto Cellini Institute of Art in Valenza, Italy. In 1994 he founded Costis House of Jewelry and Design, solidifying his identity as a designer. Each piece of Costis Jewelry is handmade at his workshop in Italy.
