Anastazio: High Jewellery Creations which are inspired by the designer’s love of ancient cultures, nature and of feminine sensuality.

Anastazio Kotsopoulos, one of the youngest jewellery artists in Greece, begun creating artistic jewellery at the age of 19, by studying stone setting together with his brother Agis. Year after year he has kept developing his technique until the passion for creating artistic and hand made jewellery turned into perfection.

This is how the brand Anastazio, together with its first 8 high jewellery one-of-a-kind jewels, was created.
