The story behind Costis Brand

Konstantinos Chamamtzis, known professionally as Costis, is a passionate, visionary, and bold jewelry designer. Inspired by nature, he combines intricate mechanics and motion in his designs, elevating everyday objects into extraordinary pieces of art.

His journey into the world of jewelry began at the age of 6, when he was captivated by a jewelry shop window in Athens, Greece. By 17, he began an apprenticeship with a renowned jeweler and went on to study at the Benvenuto Cellini Institute in Valenza, Italy, where he also worked at the workshop of Italy’s most famous jewelry company.

At 24, Costis opened his own design studio in Athens, quickly gaining a reputation for unique creations. His jewelry, known for its unconventional designs, attracted a diverse and loyal clientele.

A passionate, visionary, and bold jewelry designer

Over the years, Costis' work earned recognition globally, leading to collaborations with prestigious stores like Neiman Marcus and exhibitions like Couture in Las Vegas.

Costis' design philosophy revolves around nature’s beauty, creating sculptural jewelry that transforms ordinary objects, such as pencils and snail shells, into art. His collections, like the "Pencil" and "Snail Shell" collections, showcase his ability to elevate the simple into something exceptional.

His bold, three-dimensional pieces, like the "Precious Fishnet Necklace" and "Wave Ring," reflect his mastery of craftsmanship and attention to detail. A true connoisseur of color, Costis selects gemstones for their purity and sparkle rather than commercial value, and his pieces often feature a wide array of vibrant, unique stones. His design process is traditional, relying on hand sketches and wax prototypes, ensuring that each piece is meticulously crafted.

His workshop in Valenza, Italy, is renowned for its superb craftsmanship, and Costis oversees every step of production to ensure the highest quality. In addition to jewelry, Costis is a painter, sculptor, and writer. A true Renaissance man, he continues to live a creative life, blending his passion for design with a deep appreciation for artistic expression. Despite his diverse talents, luxury design remains his true love, and he feels fortunate to live a fulfilling creative life.
