Anna Maria Mazaraki's inaugural jewellery collection debuted in 1995. Since then, the brand has flourished, evolving into one of Greece's premier jewellery companies.
Anna Maria Mazaraki has been captivated by fashion since her childhood. She was particularly keen on following trends in the jewellery industry. The designer emphasises that jewellery completes any look and can reveal much about the woman wearing it. What began as making jewellery for her friends gradually blossomed into a genuine passion and profession for Anna Maria. Anna Maria Mazaraki's mission is to create exquisite jewellery using gold, silver and brass. The brand's offerings encompass collections for women, men and even children. Anna Maria Mazaraki's vision is for jewellery to accentuate the uniqueness of its owner, whilst also symbolising and serving as a reminder of life's pivotal moments.
Each season sees the creation of approximately 1,500 distinct pieces. Some of them are designed to be small or meaningful gifts, while others are intended for personal wear. The collections feature both classic and contemporary accessories.
Mazaraki notes that humanity has been crafting jewellery for the past 2,500 years and will continue to do so whether we live on Earth or the moon. Women will always want to be beautiful and fashionable. Appearances may change, yet the wish to be unique is everlasting.

Anna Maria Mazaraki attributes her brand's success primarily to love and passion. Her jewellery designs are inspired by Greece's extraordinary natural beauty, rich history and cultural traditions. "In a sea-surrounded country like Greece, turquoise is the dominant colour trend. I love pairing it with yellow gold," says Anna Maria Mazaraki, adding that she adores the texture of turquoise stone combined with metal, white pearls, coral and the stunning enamel on silver.
Anna Maria Mazaraki believes that by creating jewellery her business helps preserve Greek traditions while giving them a modern interpretation. The designer's most treasured and significant piece of jewellery is her grandmother's heirloom wedding ring.
Anna Maria Mazaraki advises her fellow designers to have faith in themselves and challenge their comfort zones. The jewellery brand founder believes that her line of work helps make a difference in the world.
