Biography & Design Approach
Skevi Afantiti is a Cypriot jewellery designer. Born in Nicosia and trained in Italy, she has been designing and producing jewellery since 1991.
Her work derives from her deepest urge to extract pure, simple forms and lines out of the beauty that surrounds us. She believes that when a piece of jewellery is appreciated and adorned, it is transformed into a symbol of contemporary culture.
Skevi strives to achieve thoughtful and fully functional design that becomes one with the body, assuming individuality through movement, line and form.
Working mainly with silver and gold, two soft metals that allow movement between light and darkness, void and depth, Skevi has focused on emphasizing the surface and line defined by the material itself, sometimes intervened by other material such as wood, plastic and stone.
