Ariadne Earrings

Sofia Papakosta was born in a small village of Karpathos, a Greek Island in the southeastern Aegean. She studied History and Archaeology at the University of Athens.

Her inspiration originates from her homeland, Karpathos; colors, shapes, images, flavors, music and dance. Her strong bond with Karpathos is expressed through her design. 

Sofia’s creations can be found in Greece at the Hlias Lalaounis Jewelry Museum, the Benaki Museum, and the Museum of Greek Folk Art and also in selected stores and art galleries around Greece, and now, select designs are available in the US at www.arkesseia.com
