THE DESIGN STORY

Inspired by C.P. Cavafy’s iconic poem Ithaca, this chain necklace is a quiet tribute to the beauty of the journey — not the destination. The design features a classic chain that flows into a doubled length at the base, symbolising the twists, layers, and depth one gathers along the way.
 
 Sculptural yet minimal, the gold-plated Ithaca Necklace reflects the poem’s central idea: that every experience, every detour, and every challenge adds to the richness of our arrival. The doubled chain suggests strength and duality — a visual metaphor for inner growth and outward elegance.
 
 Wear it as a reminder that life’s treasures lie not in the end, but in the path you take to get there.

 

ETHOS

Produced in a family run workshop of 7 workmen and women, our pieces are exclusively carved and crafted by hand in Athens, using Ancient Greek jewellery-making techniques and silversmithing. As champions of slow production, we create only small quantities per design. If a piece is sold out you are welcome to place a pre-order, which has a three week turnaround period, for a piece to be made exclusively for you. Unique designs that are not part of our core collection of YSSO Icons, will no longer be available once they sell out. Explore more about our story in the article about YSSO in the New York Times.
