Georgios Makrygiannis started his illustrious
trajectory in the world of fine jewellery over 40
years ago. He had an outstanding aptitude for
harnessing the beauty of gold, silver and precious
jewels into pieces that stood out for their design,
high aesthetic and uniqueness, with thousands
of customers from around the world choosing
and treasuring items from the Georgios & co
collections.
Operating three jewellery stores and a workshop
in Mykonos, Georgios never hid his passion
and love for our island. In fact, two of the first
few collections he created were the Mykonos
collection and the Delos collection, in which he
captured the spirit and soul of the two islands.
“It’s our choice to live on this wonderful island,
and we wouldn’t change it for the world”, he
told us last year.
