| Tonia began her career in Florence, Italy,
the country of fashion and art. and has been designing jewellery since 1987.
Since 1992 she has been running her own
shop "Tonia Jewellers" in Limassol. Her greatest source of
inspiration is what she considers her biggest creation ... her daughter. We are
referring to Tonia Theodorou, the
well-known artist who has made and will continue to make Cyprus
famous in the jewellery design industry.
Her reputation goes beyond Cyprus
and Europe
all the way to America and
Japan
where her creations have received favourable reviews in many exhibitions
worldwide. She confesses to not having a particular mould, because she creates
according to her mood and imagination and she believes that a true artist is
the one who initiates a fashion trend.
Her creations leave little to be desired
as she creates original pieces which are modern as well as timeless and are
perfect tor tlie special gift. From intricate wedding rings to diamond studded
necklaces, Touia's range of jewellery is designed to please both the.... Prince
and the Purse!
She confessed
that what she wants is for people to know that her jewellery comes from the
idea of movement and in this way she wishes to involve her clients in the
creation of her art. Through this she offers different ideas, for example,
transforming a necklace into two bracelets and different rings or one medallion
with ten different forms.
Her creations are based on two elements, that of
movement and that of transformation. In using these two elements, she aims to
help women of today change the shape of their jewellery according to the
occasion and their needs. The collection of turning rings is based on
movement, for example a ring can be transformed from an everyday ring with
gold and amethyst to an evening ring with diamonds. The collection
of transfonuable pieces changes a bracelet into a ring or even into earrings.
The 'playful' collection is based on colours as well as movement. With just a
simple motion a bracelet can be transformed into three rings or it can even be
transformed by changing the gems on it. The artist herself is constantly
searching for new ideas and 'hot' designs and, although she is very success-nil
in her cooperation with big businesses abroad, she is not considering leaving her
home country. However, whether in Cyprus or abroad, Tonia Theodorou will
continue to create with the same
enthusiasm which helped her reach the position she is now in, considered
amongst the elite of unique creations.
You can find her workshop and showroom
at the centre of Limassol, at 177 St. Andrew Str., Agora Anexartisias No 30.
