About

I am Iro Pothoulaki, founder and designer of IRO POTHOULAKI Jewelry.

With a background in education, I spent many years as a teacher. Yet, my true passion—rooted in artistry and the intricate craft of jewelry-making—eventually called me to pursue this path professionally. Drawing deeply from my heritage in Crete and Peloponnese, regions steeped in history and natural beauty, my designs are a tribute to the landscapes that surrounded me throughout my life.

At the heart of my creations are minimalist lines, flowing curves, and the beauty found in nature’s imperfections. Each piece is a reflection of this philosophy, meticulously hand-carved in wax before being cast in recycled sterling silver (925). In alignment with the principles of slow fashion, every design is made to order.

You can find various of my jewelry designs in stores in Athens, Fournoi island and Santa Teresa -Costa Rica-.
