The “Evolving through time” necklace is a unique, three-dimensional creation, part of the “Antikythera Collection”. Each dimension has a different shape, representing the evolution of women, captivating female attitude; strong, powerful…wonderful.

Inspired by the extraordinary ancient Antikythera mechanism, jewelry designer Anastasia Koutsampela created the Antikythera Collection. She experiments with the universal idea of time, aiming to transform its rigid reference in to an object of art, full of flexibility and semantic interpretation.

The gears featured in this collection, symbolize the motion equating life to evolution and to creation. The gears also represent artistically, the continuous evolving flow of humanity..

Every gear tooth or cog is designed by hand, beginning with a sketch and then it’s shaped and modeled in wax. Afterwards, Anastasia starts to assemble the silver, cutting and bonding together the individual pieces.

Natasa Koutsampela is an eminent attorney at law as well as a passionate Greek artist, always ready to fall in love with a new design project.

  In a digital world where everything is dominated by computers, Anastasia remains faithful to the traditional processes of design, creating jewelry made exclusively by hand.

  Following the ancient art of jewelry casting, in order to transform the initial conception into a unique piece of art jewelry, she designs her inspiration in her sketch book and afterwards she makes each piece exclusively by hand. 

  For Natasa, besides the quality of the craftsmanship worked to a flawless finish, jewelry is a representation of communication and therefore symbolisms have been an integral part of her designs. Her work speaks about the precious fruits of Mother Nature, the achievements of human labor, the universal idea of time and its perpetual flow and finally the endless demand of human contact. 

  Natasa’s work has been featured in the Greek press and group art exhibitions and she has participated in several exhibitions around the world. 

  She is one of the founder of Lefflow Art Studio, her signature brand, inspired by the fact that she is a left handed designer. You can also find her work at her web site: www.lefflow.com
