i-D FINEJEWELLERY

Having lived for over a decade in two of Europe’s most cosmopolitan capitals, London and Paris, Daphne escaped the Paris Covid lockdown and returned to her childhood country house in Athens, Greece with the dream of creating her own jewelry brand. A brand that brings something timeless, authentic and unparalleled. So, about a year ago, on a small Olive grove hill, a house full of boxes and and a woman full of experiences and images, Alkemeya was born. And while for some, this period may seem short, as she tells us “I had the idea in my mind for years”. Using materials such as gold, precious and semi-precious stones, Daphne designed timeless pieces of jewelery drawing inspiration from nature, history, but also from women who have played a decisive role in her life. “Jewelry is not just a beautiful object, it is a constant form of personal expression, depicting an idea of ​​who we are and reminding us that even if we live in a changing world, there is a deeper eternal flow of things that keeps us close to our roots and connects us to our past”.
