Precious stones: combining the rough and the precious

Under the name Margoni, Greek duo Mary Margoni and Yannis Mandilakis reveal a new approach to gemstone cutting. Based in Thessaloniki, the designers sublimate each gemstone with a unique philosophy: preserving the stones’ raw authenticity while enhancing it with gold. Their work combines abstract lines and asymmetrical shapes to create vibrant, timeless jewellery that celebrates the kaleidoscopic beauty of each stone.

In her studio, the stones are at the centre of the creative process. Mary concentrates on design, imagining free, modern shapes, while cutting and polishing techniques are Yannis’ area of expertise. Some stones are left raw, revealing a natural texture, while others are shaped into free cuts to capture the light in a unique way. Precious metals such as 18-carat gold and sterling silver frame these gems, adding contrast and subtlety.

Margoni was founded in 1989. Since then, the duo has continued to share their art around the world, with pieces exhibited in Europe and the United States. Inspired by the colourful landscapes of Greece, they infuse their creations with a natural elegance, a blend of strength and delicacy.
