Why it belongs in ORBIS
Athens jewelry label founded in 2011 by Konstantina Pantelous, handcrafting Greek-mythology-inspired pieces - coin pendants, zodiac charms, Hercules-knot motifs - in recycled silver from workshops in Athens.
Hermina Athens was founded in 2011 by Konstantina Pantelous, who began making jewelry from home as a creative outlet while working as a translator and raising two children. She named the brand after her daughter Hermina, a name that also doubles as the female form of Hermes, the Greek messenger god. Collections include Greek Mythology, Healing Crystals, Zodiac Signs, and a 14K gold range, alongside coin pendants and Hercules-knot bracelets; pieces are designed and produced in the brand's own Athens workshops, primarily in recycled silver. Pantelous and the brand have been featured in Forbes (2019) and Liberty London (2021).
