ISLAND A WEEK: Aegean Collection - RODOS

My AEGEAN COLLECTION features rings and pendants that have been inspired by the light and color of my beloved Greek Islands. These pieces are mixed media jewelry, where each piece has a ceramic shard as its focal. For each ring or pendant, I have completed the ceramic shard in a different way, using different materials and techniques such as metal (aluminium or copper) sheet, copper wire, polymer clay and acrylic paints.
Each piece of my Aegean Collection is named after a different island, so I thought I'd introduce them one by one! Welcome to the wonderful world of the Greek Islands of the Aegean!!!

RHODES (Greek Ρόδος, Ródos) is the largest of the Dodecanese islands in terms of both land area and population. It is located approximately 18 kilometres (11 mi) southwest of Turkey in the eastern Aegean Sea. In the ancient times, it was famous for its Colossus, the giant statue of god Helios (the Sun) that used to stand above the port. The Colossus is now considered as one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Today, Rhodes is among the most popular Greek islands, famous for its beautiful beaches, the green and varied landscapes, the traditional villages and the Old Town of Rhodes, one of the best preserved medieval towns in Europe. The medieval Old Town of the City of Rhodes has been declared a World Heritage Site. The incredible mix of ancient and modern, East and West, modern mass tourism and unspoiled genuine landscapes and villages, crowded beaches and completely deserted coasts, make it a unique destination.

MYKONOS (Greek Μύκονος) is a Greek island and part of the Cyclades, lying between Tinos, Syros, Paros and Naxos. Widely known as one of the most cosmopolitan islands in Greece, for its diverse and intense nightlife as evidenced by a vast number of bars and nightclubs, Mykonos has so much more to offer other than hot disco nights. Mykonos is a typical Cycladic island with the cubist charms of traditional Cycladic towns, narrow alleyways winding between the white-washed buildings, flower-bedecked yards and blinding white churches. Uniquely combining superb, sandy shores with a crystal clear sea and a stunning Chora, Mykonos is the supreme and inimitable expression of the Cycladic architecture: radiant whites and radiant blues.

MILOS (Greek Μήλος) is a volcanic Greek island in the Aegean Sea, just north of the Sea of Crete. Milos is the southwesternmost island in the Cyclades group, and it is located between Serifos, Sifnos and Folegandros. The island is famous for the statue of Aphrodite (the "Venus de Milo", now in the Louvre), and also for statues of the Greek god Asclepius (now in the British Museum) and the Poseidon and an archaic Apollo now in Athens. Milos is considered one of the most beautiful Greek Islands and it is unique for its astonishing lunar landscape which creates unbelievable and imposing rocky formations coloured in deep red, brown or glimmering white. Milos has been only recently discovered by tourism, and its typical white-washed Cycladic villages, a wonderful sea, dozens of uncontaminated beaches and a peaceful atmosphere make it a real dream Island.

PAROS (Greek Πάρος) is located in the heart of the Cyclades, in the Aegean sea, in front of Naxos and near Mykonos. Paros was known in antiquity for its fine marble. Serene landscape with fertile valleys and rolling hills dotted with small churches and monasteries, endless sandy beaches with sparkling blue waters, famous monuments from the island's rich ancient and medieval past, picturesque whitewashed villages bathed in the unique, dazzling Aegean light... All this, along with warm hospitality, excellent tourist facilities, rich cultural life, cosmopolitan ambience but also the possibility of seclusion, have combined to make Paros one of the most favorite spots in the Cyclades Islands.
