Like practically every jeweler in the world, ANNA-MARIA MAZARAKI started out designing jewelry for herself and for her close friends. However, her passion and enthusiasm for luxury jewellery helped her turn her hobby into a viable and promising business.
In 2000, Anna-Maria Mazaraki and her husband Ion Rempoutzakos decided to put in use their extensive knowledge in ready to wear jewellery and to create their own brand "ANNA-MARIA MAZARAKI: Silver and Gold". Starting out with one store in 2000, the company gradually expanded to 10 stores – 9 in Greece and 1 in Cyprus, successfully building the reputation of a very serious contender in the jewellery, accessory and gift market. Today, ANNA MARIA MAZARAKI represents "affordable luxury" with a very strong fashion statement.
