About the Item

Stunning stylized snake bracelet custom made by Ilias Lalaounis in Greece in the 1970’s. It is made of platinum and set with approximately 16 carats of old cushion cut diamonds.

Sensational and conversational jewel! About Lalaounis Brand: Ilias Lalaounis was a renowned Greek jewelry designer, often referred to as the "father of modern Greek jewelry." Born in 1920 in Athens, Greece, he came from a family with a long history in the jewelry business. Lalaounis initially studied law and economics, but his passion for the arts and history drew him towards jewelry design. In 1940, he joined the family's jewelry business, which was founded by his grandfather in 1870. However, Ilias sought to revolutionize the traditional craft, combining ancient Greek inspiration with contemporary design elements. He was particularly fascinated by the rich history and symbolism of ancient Greek art, mythology, and culture. In 1969, Ilias Lalaounis established the House of Lalaounis in Athens, marking the beginning of his eponymous brand. His unique approach to jewelry design incorporated classical Greek motifs, archaeological elements, and traditional goldsmith techniques. The Lalaounis brand quickly gained international recognition for its unique aesthetic and craftsmanship. One of Ilias Lalaounis's notable achievements was the creation of the "Museum of Jewelry" in Athens in 1994. It showcases a vast collection of his creations and also serves as a testament to his commitment to celebrating Greece's cultural heritage through the art of jewelry making. Ilias Lalaounis passed away in 2013, leaving behind a lasting legacy in the world of jewelry design. The Lalaounis brand continues to thrive, combining tradition with innovation under the leadership of the Lalaounis family, ensuring that his artistic vision endures for generations to come.

About Estate Jewelry: Buying jewelry online might be challenging. The quality of the making has not gotten better over the time while the design is getting more and more generic. Add ever rising prices and you could end up with not finding anything suitable. To purchase a high-quality jewelry piece for an obtainable price consider buying estate items. • Quality vs Quantity Estate pieces mostly belong to the times when jewels were handmade and not mass produced. There were simply less jewelry makers at that time and they cared about their reputation. Opposed to the current fast fashion approach, life pace was in general slower. That allowed makers to take more time to craft truly quality pieces. • Fair-Priced vs Overpriced Designer pieces aka signed pieces can cost multiple times more than their unsigned equivalents. We pay not only for an item itself but also for the brand advertising campaigns and all the buzz the name is creating. Prices for estate jewelry form differently and mostly depend on the cost paid by a seller. A pre-owned Bulgari ring and a brand-new Bulgari ring have a very appealing price difference. Ask your local jewelry store about a retail price of the desired piece and you’d be pleasantly surprised. • True value vs Seasonal rush Pre-owned jewelry retains its value. Over the time it gets rare and more expensive. Think purchasing a new car that loses its value right after you left your dealer versus buying a vintage vehicle. At Nadine Krakov Collection...
