Our Story

A Heritage of Craftsmanship
Our story begins in 1973, when Thanasis Makriadis, a Greek craftsman from Constantinople, laid the foundation for what would become a multi-generational jewelry legacy. Today, Makriadis Jewelry is led by the family’s third and second generation — creating timeless pieces in the heart of Athens.
Our Philosophy
We do not see ourselves as merchants. We are makers. Every piece we create is designed with the utmost respect for luxury, quality, and aesthetic harmony. We do not aim for mass production or easy resale. Our goal is to create objects of enduring beauty — jewelry that carries weight, meaning, and permanence.
This philosophy has positioned us as a leader in the diamond and fine jewelry world, trusted by those who value authenticity and excellence.


The Makriadis Experience
Drawing inspiration from ancient Greek forms and techniques — from hammered gold to hand-finished filigree — we combine ancestral know-how with modern minimalism. Every creation is born in our workshop and made to last for generations. You will find both natural and lab-grown diamonds in our designs, always sourced responsibly and chosen for their brilliance and ethics.
Our Home in Athens
While Makriadis.com connects us with people across the globe, our physical stores remain the heart of our identity. In our Athens showrooms, clients are welcomed into a space where passion, precision, and personal service come together.
Here, jewelry is not a product — it is a reflection of who we are.
