ANtora was born in London by Cypriot parents and lived there until her early teens when she moved to Cyprus.  She completed a three year Secretarial course and graduated a private English school and has lived on the Island ever since.  

ANtora was pushed very quickly into adulthood at the age of 17, work, family responsibilities, being a wife and a mother of three. She tried to catch up with everything going on around her and blocked the real beauty which was hidden inside until she finally found her inner strength to move forward in her life and make this dream come to the surface. Making jewelery was a way of expressing the passion she had from the depth of the soul.  ANtora  always had an eye for gemstones and beads and discovered her talent while making her own hand made jewelery for herself and for friends.  She started making basic beading jewelery and after attending a course in the year 2007 she was able to move on further.  

Along the way she discovered that wire wrapped jewelry became even more attractive and more interesting to her.  She was intrigued and so set out to learn everything she could about this beautiful form of jewelry making. She did her first pieces with some assistance of wiring books and then started making her own designs by visualizing them.  She decided later to share her artwork by introducing it the internet.
