Hey there! Welcome to BASTET jewelry studio!
I’m Marina Kyritsi, an artist based in Athens, Greece and I’ve been creating with my hands for as long as I can remember.
I studied Fine Arts at the University for the Creative Arts – UCA (former KIAD) in Canterbury, England, and Textile Design at the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design in Budapest, Hungary.
My passion for design and fashion naturally flowed into my studio work, leading me to study artisan jewelry making alongside experienced jewelry makers who imparted their craft to me.
BASTET jewelry is my artisan project, where contemporary design transcends traditional limits, transforming into stunning wearable art.
BASTET reflects my artistic vision, showcasing my unwavering commitment to exceptional craftsmanship, sustainability, and individuality.
The Artistic Vision
Jewelry, to me, is more than just an accessory; it is a powerful form of self-expression. My pieces feature modern, bold, and substantial designs that challenge conventional aesthetics, encouraging you to view jewelry as wearable art. Drawing from my background in sculpture, I meticulously transform high-quality materials into statement pieces that celebrate your uniqueness.
Craftsmanship
At the heart of BASTET lies craftsmanship. Every piece is carefully handcrafted in my Athens studio, embodying a level of artistry that reflects my dedication and passion. My creative process merges traditional techniques, honed over years of experience, with innovative methods that push the limits of jewelry design.
“I personally design and craft each piece in my studio in Athens, and I would be happy to welcome you.”
Each creation begins as a concept, bringing my vision to life. I create with intention and individuality, using 925 recycled silver and reclaimed materials to ensure that my jewelry is not only visually stunning but also environmentally responsible.
Every item is made to order, allowing me to focus on the details and fostering a unique, meaningful connection between you and the jewelry. I don’t produce seasonal collections or keep inventory; I am committed to never mass-producing my designs, so each piece stands alone as a unique expression of artistry and care.
I work slowly, on my own pace, because this is how I live and breathe.
In addition to made-to-order pieces, I offer a curated selection of unique, one-of-a-kind ready-to-wear designs. These bespoke and exclusive creations showcase my versatility and creativity, ensuring each piece is a true celebration of individuality and craftsmanship.
Local Partnerships
I am deeply committed to supporting the local economy by collaborating exclusively with small, local businesses—just like mine! My suppliers are all within walking distance of my studio, creating strong relationships that enhance my creative process. This community-focused approach allows me to source materials responsibly, ensuring that each piece reflects the highest standards of quality and ethical production.
Empowering Individuality
BASTET celebrates the uniqueness of every individual. My jewelry is designed for those who embrace their personal style and are not afraid to stand out. By choosing BASTET jewelry, you become part of a community that values creativity, boldness, and authenticity. Each piece carries its own narrative, empowering you to express yourself and connect with others through art—because every piece has a story, and every story deserves to shine.
Engaging Workshops
I am passionate about sharing the art of jewelry making. I host interactive workshops in BASTET jewelry studio, where participants can immerse themselves in the creative process. These hands-on experiences allow you to learn essential techniques and craft your own unique pieces under my guidance.
