Prounis
US
For New York-based, Jean Prounis, there was only ever one color of gold; the 22k buttery yellow that we know from visiting museum exhibitions of ancient times. From Greco-Roman to Pre-Colombian, her vivid creations encompass ideas from civilisations long lost. In an imaginary conversation with her grandfather, Jean’s jewellery speaks to times of both yesterday and tomorrow, transcending time and honoring the grounding and protective powers of gold.
Highlights & awards:

Why we love Prounis
Jean’s designs are instantly recognisable and extremely desirable. She uses ancient goldsmithing techniques to produce her signature look, but there is nothing dusty about this modern day jewellery.
