The Eye Ring

The Eye Ring, designed by Leda Athanasopoulou, seamlessly blends history and modernity. A delicate handcrafted 14K gold wire is passed through a glass eye bead, giving optimum lightness and enabling the bead to move around. According to Greek and Middle Eastern tradition, wearing an evil eye charm will protect you against bad luck and the 'curse of the eye' or, in Greek, mati. 

Leda Athanasopoulou was born in Thessaloniki, Greece. She completed a first degree in business in London and Paris followed by a degree in design from Istituto Europeo di Design in Milan. Since then, Leda has lived between New York, Athens and London, working in interior design and architecture. The Eye Ring is her first venture into jewellery.
