CHRISTINA SOUBLI | Pietra

Christina Soubli is a fine jewellery artist based in Athens, Greece. Her vision is to create impeccably crafted unique jewellery pieces that enhance women’s femininity and unveil the beauty inside them. Born in a family of traditional jewellers, Christina learned to appreciate classical forms and precious materials. But her creative mind and restless personality made her want to explore jewel-making further. During her studies at Central Saint Martin’s College of Art and Design she experimented a lot with different materials, shapes and techniques. Her creative journey and exploration led her to realize one thing: Her persistent love for classical forms and her urge to interpret them in a new unconventional way. Christina’s collections are lush and feminine, inspired by a different mood, a story or experience that triggered her creativity. Christina has been distinguished with significant awards, among which is also the Worshipful Company of Goldsmith’s Award of Jewellery. She has exhibited her work in some of the most prestigious galleries and stores worldwide and has received numerous outstanding reviews. For the past few years Christina Soubli has become known for her unique filigree work. The art of filigree in jewel making dates back to ancient times and 1000 B.C., where the Phoenician, the Etruscan and the Greek goldsmiths of the time hand crafted jewellery by creating and twisting together fine threads of precious metal. Christina, with her feminine creativity has managed to interpret filigree in an utterly contemporary manner, maintaining the exact traditional process and technique from ancient times. Her first filigree collection was names “Dentelles”, as the shapes and patterns she created resembled a delicate lace cloth. The success of Dentelles as well as her passion for this delicate technique inspired her to further expand her filigree designs and play with geometrical shapes and gemstones, only to create a unique jewellery collection reviving this ancient art of jewel making.
