- Rhombus Multicolor Star Necklace 18Kt Gold Tourmaline Mandarin Garden DiamnodsBy Nicofilimon the Jewelry DesignerLocated in Athens, GRExtremelly beautiful necklace, Rhombus shape, made of 18Kt yellow gold with multicolor precious stones such as tourmaline, peridot , mandarin garnet and diamonds. An elegant and unique piece of jewelry that adds a royalty sense to your style. Stone details: tourmaline, peridot , mandarin garnet totally 10.00 ct, Diamonds 0.10 ct Title: Asteroid N - One of a kind - Nicofilimon 2018 Collection: Metalloplasies THE DESIGNER Talented and knowledgeable, Nicofilimon (aka Nikos Garbis) uses his creativity to embrace jewelry design as the noble form of craftsmanship that it is. His studies in jewelry design, gemology and the art of diamonds harmoniously blend with his training in classical music, jazz and composition, turning his artistic inspiration into a profound vision of beauty. Each and every one of his creations reflects a fragment of his influences while, at the same time, it brings his aesthetical representation of the human condition to life. Internationally acclaimed and awarded, Nicofilimon stays in touch with his roots both physically and spiritually. His birthplace, Cephalonia, and the Ionian blue constitute the very source of his passion and force, making it hard for him to imagine himself outside a Greek context. Nevertheless, his path has naturally led him to dreamy metropolitan cities in Europe and the United States, serving as outlets through which his work successfully reaches wider audiences. As a careful zeitgeist “reader”, Nicofilimon chose to give the world access to his jewels not through a physical store but on the internet. Design genius is now an option for anyone who knows where to look for it. ARTISAN BODY PARTS Moving parts on a body map. Valuable materials. Cosmic symbols.
