0 reviews
Rooted in the akrokeramo—the ornamental ceramic crest that crowns traditional neoclassical rooftops across Greece—these earrings draw from one of the country’s most recognizable architectural details. If you walk through the historic centre of Athens, you need only look up to spot the akrokeramo rising above tiled roofs, a feature that appears on historic buildings and mansions across the Greek mainland and islands. Its signature palmette form and flowing curves shape the earrings’ design, where the upward sweep and balanced lines reinterpret this classic rooftop motif in a refined contemporary piece.

These earrings feature 100% high grade rayon and cotton threads across the embroidery, as well as gold plated findings.
The dimensions of the earrings are approximately L3 x W3 cm. Despite their elaborate design, they are lightweight and can be worn for hours without discomfort.
5% of the proceeds from the sale of each pair of Akrokeramo earrings (and all pieces sold by αία) goes to charity. Your purchase will arrive in - specially designed by us - plastic free packaging.

Please note the clasp that secures the earring is intentionally a silicone clasp.
