Our team

Handwritten Jewelry are designed and engraved by Margarita however the whole production and organizing is a result of successful teamwork.
Kostas is our experienced  technician who manufactures, finishes and assembles the pieces. He is always here to provide us with the right solution to any technical problem!   

Gina, who is a ceramic artist herself, is in charge of the retail sale, communication with retail and wholesail clients, packaging and shipping all orders and keeping the shop in a good shape!
Over the years there have been many other creative teammates who have worked in “Handwritten Jewelry”and have all contributed in their way to make the brand what it is today. I thank them all.

Our philosophy

“Handwritten Jewelry is made to be loved, to be touched and taken care of, but most of all they are made for you to wear and feel. They have nothing to do with fashion, clothes or seasons. They only have to do with your body and soul and are your own personal amulets.”
These are the words I used to describe my first handwritten jewelry collection back in 2006. At the time I called it “Love Jewelry”.
Today, 15 years later, I would not change a single word.
