Nothing inspires us more than the Orthodox Churches of the world. Every time we travel to these churches, we cannot help but feel awe and become, even if only for a little while, members of the local Orthodox communities. Faith, Hospitality, Community, Family... values that are the same and strong in all parts of the world, grow and develop our Orthodoxy, which continuously gains new members, proving clearly that it is the Religion of the Future.
We are "present" in the decoration of two more Holy Temples, Saint Michael in Los Angeles and Anastasis in Tucson. With our icons adorning the interiors of the Churches, we are proud to have had the opportunity to contribute to the preservation of Orthodox tradition and to support local communities in the United States. We hope that these Holy Temples will continue to be centers of spiritual life and social cohesion for Orthodox Christians in the area.
We warmly thank Father Timothy and Father Gabriel ... whom we now feel like friends for their help and, above all, for their trust!
Silversmithing in Ioannina has its roots in the depths of the centuries, but shows significant activity from the time of the Despotate of Epirus onwards. The uniqueness of this Artwork is mainly expressed by special construction techniques such as forged, blown or carved, wire or filigree and savat, techniques which give a three-dimensional form to every Artifact! ..and of course always made of solid Silver!
Our latest creation with the exact same technique is now traveling to Romania! When they saw this vigil Oil were excited!

On the occasion of a recent order from the Church of the Redeemer in California we present one of our favorite Styles. Handmade Enamels!
With a special Bekachever, the craftsman spreads out in Enamel by decorating a Sprinkler.
But how was enamel adopted in Orthodox Ecclesiastical Art?
Enamel is called a thin decorative layer of glass on a metal surface. The oldest enamel objects found are 6 bronze rings dating back to the 14th century BC.
The Byzantine Empire, together with the silk technique, copied from China and the style of enamel, thus creating a new way in Orthodox Ecclesiastical Art.
We warmly thank Father Youssef from California for giving us the opportunity to decorate in April 2021 his Temple in California with our enamel objects.
