Fanourakis
JEWELLERY
One of the most creative, exciting Greek jewellers, Fanourakis designs delicate pieces of
folded gold, encrusted rings, bows, and other unique creations. The distinctive forms are
sheer art, a factor that is also reflected in the prices, though it now has a more inexpensive
line as well.
