Our Story
YSSO is the London and Athens based jewellery label from creative mom-and-daughter duo Alexia and Stalo Karides. What does YSSO mean? YSSO is derived from the word gold in Greek, "chrysso". As standalone word which does not have a traditional meaning, and was imagined by Stalo and Alexia on the concept of a blank canvas. Based on the idea that the brand and their designs become a vehicle for everyone to interpret them in different ways.
A Shared Vision
