Jewelry creates more emotion than any other accessory, bookmarking life’s most valuable moments. Engagement rings passed through generations or the necklace a mother gifts her daughter are just a few keyframes in the screenplay of a woman’s life. With this in mind, Jean Prounis channels her love of antiquities and her family’s lineage of creating treasured memories and objects.
Jean Prounis works with 22k gold and ethically sourced gemstones. She describes the aesthetic of her eponymous line as “meso-greco-aleppo.” These hand-wrought pieces are defined by a custom shade of buttery gold. Prounis utilizes a special alloy created with three metals: fine silver, copper and 22k gold – the same blend that defines many Greek artifacts.
While she was born in New York City and raised on Long Island, her great-grandparents grew up in Greece before immigrating to America. When they arrived in Manhattan, her great-grandfather became the co-proprietor of the Versailles Club, a mecca for famous people such as Édith Piaf and Dean Martin. The key color of her branding – sage green – was the color of the club’s dining room table cloths.
The Greco-Roman qualities of her designs are inspired by her grandfather who, although born in the United States, treasured his Greek heritage. An influential source in her life, he passed down information from his extensive library that encompassed everything from Greek art and jewelry to architecture. Exposure to every element of their heritage resulted in a celebration of that ancestry which naturally formed the foundation of Jean’s design sensibilities.
Exquisite bezel settings, repoussé, chain-making and granulation, are just a few techniques she studied while under the tutelage of influential jewelers such as Celia Bauer. A simplicity of form echos her family’s legacy. She plays with the scale of her work to create bolder, modernized versions of ancient heirlooms.
Jean Prounis states that her jewelry “takes on the life of the wearer…your skin’s oils polish the gold over the years…[and] it lives with you like a second skin.
In the beginning, Jean handcrafted nearly all of Prounis’ pieces herself. Today, she works with expert craftsmen through a detailed process infused with intense integrity and engineering to create work that endures.
The size, shape and luster of a pearl are determined by many factors, such as the climate of the water in which the oyster is housed and the species of the oyster itself. Akoya and South Sea pearls are named after the region they originate, while baroque and keshi pearls are named specifically for their shape.
“Baroque” is a catch-all term for any pearl that is not uniform in shape. The silhouette of these pearls are created by an uneven deposit of nacre by the oyster. Baroque pearls are very lustrous – the bumps and ridges on the pearl’s surface create more opportunities to catch and bend the light.
Nacre is the essence of a pearl, a natural substance the mollusk coats foreign fragments with to protect itself. Composed of thousands of layers of overlapping crystal plates with irregular edges, nacre is the same glistening material that lines the inner surface of oyster shells. The microscopic crystals align as such, that light passing through refracts in an iridescent manner.
The obvious variations in the size and shape of baroque pearls were once seen as a disadvantage. Today, the one-of-a-kind qualities that they have to offer are a reflection of the personality wearing them. In this way, it is no surprise Monies often works with baroque pearls, the ultimate representation of uniquely elegant self-expression.

British designer Sia Taylor was a sculpture artist, originally graduating from London’s Royal College of Art. Spending time during her last semester in Botswana, she immersed herself in the art of jewelry making, inspired by the subtle intricacies of nature, creating work that is an impression of its essence.
One would imagine that working at such a small scale does not come naturally to those who have spent their lives dedicated to sculpture. For some time, she couldn’t evade the feeling that she was working in the wrong scale.
“With sculpture, I always felt like I had to be saying something profound.”
Sia Taylor
A world of possibilities began to unfold as she learned to express the ideas that were surfacing through her sculptural lens, in gold and intimate proportions. Jewelry making sparked the creative freedom that she was searching for. Her initial jewelry collection was rooted in the spirit of delicate insect wings, seeds and buds that entranced her.
“It’s the sound or movement of the wind, in the grass rather than the grass itself…I love the idea of capturing these quiet, little events and recreating their essence in precious objects.”
Sia Taylor
At Sia Taylor’s studio in the Somerset countryside, each of her pieces is meticulously handcrafted. She describes her process as being organic, both in spirit and the way her pieces develop. Whether it’s the sound of the wind caressing the trees or the way light scatters across moving water, she begins by visualizing a sensation.
As she works on the piece, it naturally takes shape. Understated and poetic, lightweight chains are soon decorated with airy golden plates that dance with each movement. Her work comes to fruition through an innate sense of the world and a vision of the elements in nature that spark joy in her heart. As a result of this labor of love, each of her pieces is imbued with a depth and soul that is undeniable, which will ultimately be cherished and passed on for decades to come.
