NOTES: a) The origin of the Greek word for jewellery -kósmima [κόσμημα < κοσμέω/κοσμῶ] refers to the word cosmos: a system of adornments, the world. b) ‘Ηρίαμ / °'Ηriam is pronounced as [Ιīriam] - the backward read of Méri [Μαίρη / ήριαΜ] the jeweller’s name in Greek - with which she signs for all her artistic practices (writing, objects d’art, etc). The letter [H] has been kept as a tribute to the sun [Hélios -Ήλιος] that encapsulates her greek roots. c) The brand’s emblem is placed before the [H] working tonically to accentuate the letter, by turning it into a long phonetical [Iī]. The symbol is created out of a combination of an abstract capture driven by the shapes of the hieroglyph character for gold, Nebu, found in ancient papyri, a forged gold Anatolian Neolithic amulet pendant of an unknown deity’s pregnant body, kept at the Archeological Museum of Athens, the syllabic ideograms for the words gold, man and woman as depicted in the Linear B Mycenaean Greek scripts, along with the shape of an ancient genderless Cycladic figurine -called “stranger”- of straight posture holding its head high, known for “gazing the stars”, kept at the Cycladic Museum of Athens. All the above are incorporated into a minimalistic and linear drawing form, strongly stimulated by the Scandinavian design and lucidity, paying a tribute to the creator’s studies at the University of Copenhagen and her life in Denmark up to date, her education on Visual Arts & History of Jewellery and further elements of intellectual as well as personal growth that led her to create a brand after years of consistent experimental jewellery making. d) Last but not least, the brand’s “DRIPPING IN GOLD” tagline, is inspired by the “Flight Facilities - Crave you - feat. Giselle” song <3
