Vines Art

Christos Lazaris studied silversmithing and goldsmithing at the renowned School of Stemnitsa. He lives and works in Nemea, Corinthia. Having mastered all stages and materials involved in jewelry making, he took it a step further by discovering the great potential of grapevine wood.

The magnificent nature and the rich vineyards of the region inspired him to create jewelry based on grapevine wood. The raw material for his jewelry comes directly from the land of Nemea – the heart of Greek viticulture and winemaking. The vines that inspire him are carefully collected by Christos himself during the pruning season. This is how “Vines” jewelry was born.

Each piece is unique and different, as Christos Lazaris draws inspiration from the natural, ever-changing shapes of the vine. He creates elegant, meticulously crafted, and innovative jewelry – small works of art – combining vine wood with 925 silver and semi-precious stones.

“Vines” jewelry by “Vines-art” is entirely handmade from start to finish. Each piece stands out for its attention to detail and expert craftsmanship. Valuable yet simple, in combinations never used before. Ecology, environmental respect, recycling, innovation, and a deep love for Greek nature are the core elements that define the creations of “Vines-art.”
