Earlier, no one considered jewelry as an unconventional way to deal with some of our phobias and fears. But a collection of jewelry Scarabs jewelry from designer and artist Lito Karakostanoglou will be able to fix this, since this collection includes extremely precious … insects. In particular, a variety of beetles. Fortunately, there are no Colorado beetles and cockroaches in this collection. Jewelry designer Leto Karakostanoglou, a resident of Athens, loved myths since childhood, and not only Greek ones. And remembering the sacred meaning that the scarab beetle assigns in myths, I have always respected this insect, so much so that I dedicated my very first decoration to him. And it was made from a real beetle. The scarab set consisted of a necklace and earrings, but since living insects are not very suitable material for jewelry, the girl began to look for precious stones of special colors and sizes to make her "scarab jewelry" from them.

So, in search of material for jewelry, Leto Karakostanoglou travels all over the world, but he especially loves Morocco, China, India and Mexico. In these travels, new ideas are born for original pendants and pendants, necklaces and brooches, rings and bracelets.

By the way, Leto Karakostanoglou opened her first boutique of designer jewelry in Athens back in 1999, but then moved to Paris to study sculpture and technical drawing there. And upon returning home in 2006, her brand jewelry store reopened in Athens.
