About  Alexandra

Alexandra Jacoumis

Alexandra Jacoumis’s jewellery seeks to unite the intricate designs and softness of textiles with the illuminating quality of gold and precious stones.  Being of Greek origin, she has always been inspired by traditional and ancient crafts, which shows through her distinctive and original style.  ‘I love the idea of jewellery being significant and sentimental, passed down from generation to generation’ she says.

Her journey in the world of jewellery making started when she acquired a degree in Jewellery Design & Practice at Sir John Cass Department of Art, Media & Design in London. Following her studies, she worked for ethical jeweller Pippa Small in Notting Hill, London for four years.  During that time she was able to perfect her craft and find her own voice. True inspiration came after having spent several months travelling around India and Greece.  Her proximity to rich textiles, textures, colours and stories moved her to create a unique collection.

Alexandra’s jewellery is made by hand-sewing detailed forms which are then transformed into solid 18kt gold, retaining the exact intricate detail of the thread.  Afterwards, precious and semi-precious stones, such as black diamonds and sapphires, are added. Delicate and tactile, these pieces are organic.  They are reminiscent of the past technique of hand-sewing and yet, they are modern and ready to wear.
