Ari Athans

Contemporary jeweller, Ari Athans works primarily with stone and precious metal with a strong preference for unusual gemstone cuts and raw geological samples such as basalt, rough diamonds, emerald crystals, natural coral, quartz crystals, serpentine, hematite and black tourmaline.

She sources her stones from around the world and likens this process to fossicking.

Her inspiration combines geology, fashion, graphic design and her Greek heritage.

Her minimalist approach to design enhances the minerals and reflects the randomness and order that occurs in crystal growth.

Ari has exhibited in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, London, Munich, Singapore, Tokyo and Milan.
