Our story
from the family's olive groves to the laboratory
Olive Collection started in 2015 as an idea: handmade, sustainable jewelry made from the branches of our family’s olive trees, combining wood with metal.
We are one of the first Greek jewelry workshops to reuse materials, and one of the few environmentally friendly manufacturers in the industry.
The collection
Wood jewelry is eco-friendly, lightweight, and comfortable. Olive wood matches many materials and styles, and each piece of the collection is designed and handmade.
An imaginative world made by hand
artfully designed and beautifully handmade
Inspiration comes from our walks in nature. Each design starts as a sketch on hand and is perfected digitally.
The olive wood comes exclusively from the tree branches of the family and dries naturally in the air for five months. It is cut with a laser, finished with a liquid wax for a matte finish and assembled by hand using traditional techniques.
The team
The family is the heart of the business. Giorgos, Eleftheria, Michalis and Giannis form the creative team, along with young artisans who develop their own artistic expression.

Wood is a flexible material with a warm, natural feel. It is lightweight, affordable, sustainable, and even friendly to sensitive skin. We design with a modern aesthetic, because every piece of jewelry is a way to capture a moment.
Elevthia Kounalaki
My jewelry reflects my life. The olive groves were the setting of my childhood. I made my first necklace at the age of six and I always had the idea of giving materials a second life.
Michalis Geronymakis
We use 100% recycled olive wood from the family’s olive groves, which would otherwise have ended up as green waste or burned. Our finishes are non-toxic, the packaging is fully recyclable, and we implement environmentally friendly practices throughout production.
Giannis Geronymakis
My love for olive wood was passed down to me by my parents. My goal is to create an alternative collection of jewelry inspired by nature, with modern design and craftsmanship at its core.
