YSSO

Company Profile

YSSO, a London-based, Greek jewellery brand was founded by Mother-daughter duo, Alexia and Stalo Karides, in 2020 with the shared vision of modern jewellery with ancient beginnings. Combining their unique experiences — Stalo is an archaeologist and art historian with over 30 years experience in jewellery making and Alexia is an ex-corporate lawyer turned brand creative director — the two creatives tap into their Greek heritage to design organic and sculptural pieces, each handcrafted and completely unique.   YSSO is a celebration of balance and harmony; ancient and modern. Our work is defined by the rich history and natural beauty of Greece. We draw inspiration from our country's diverse landscape — incorporating elements from the sea, mountains, and flora — and partner exclusively with Athenian workshops in order to highlight traditional Greek jewellery making and goldsmithing techniques.   YSSO jewellery carries on the stories of craftsmen and the knowledge passed down for generations. Each piece is as unique as the hands that made it. We prioritise the use of recycled and locally-sourced materials in addition to employing environmentally conscious production techniques.
