“Having a vivid imagination is like looking into heaven”, says  ANtora, 

I was born in London by Cypriot parents and  always had a creative mind from a young child as I used to sit in a corner and enjoy drawing people’s faces. Returning back to Cyprus at the age of 14 all my creativity talents went to sleep until a couple of years ago when I started making jewellery for myself and friends.  Finally my passion returned back to discover  my true self again. In the year 2007  I attended a Jewellery course with the Ministry of Education and Culture in Cyprus and then was able to move forward creatively and positively.  I have attended different public events where was able to display my jewellery collection. First public exhibition took place in November 2009 at the Pantheon Cultural Association in Nicosia.

At the end of 2009 I opened a Handicraft Gift & Jewellery Shop in Nicosia. My love and passion for art inspired to open a shop to display and sell  my designs as well as art and designs by other local artists. It is a great joy for to give local artists the opportunity to display their work and I am very proud to have them with me. I sell my designs mainly to local customers in Cyprus.   I am also a member of the magazines: Beading Daily & Jewellery Artist and some of my designs are displayed on the internet by Interweave Press. 

I have a strong passion with a vivid imagination when creating jewellery,  enjoying experimenting with different pieces each time using a variety of techniques. Along the way  I discovered that wire wrapped jewellery has become more attractive and more interesting.

No two designs are alike, every piece is inspired by its own name and meaning.  

Many thanks to all for visiting my website.
