TETE-A-TETE 01: POLINA SAPOUNA-ELLIS

Having been trained and worked as an archaeologist alongside renowned Greek archaeologists for years, eventually Polina Sapouna-Ellis decided, following her life-long passion, to make a shift into jewelry design. She had both the professional knowledge and the inspiration to take what Greece has always been famous for – rich history and culture – and turn it into jewelry that resonates the symmetrical and architectural shapes of ancient Greek silhouettes.
In our very first tête-à-tête, we sit down with Polina to discuss the challenges of setting up and running a fine jewelry company, her views on the particular market and the fashion industry in general.
