"I am fascinated and inspired by nature, the
space and celestial features. I have grown up in an area in my country,
where I was surrounded by several abundant mines, mountains, forest and open sky.
My favorite walk is to the forest and near the old mines digging for
some amazing pyrite and other raw beauties that could be surprisingly
found in those areas. I have been collecting stones from all over the
world all my life. I totally love crystals, rocks & minerals, stones
and the creation of artistic jewelry with them. The creation time is
like meditation to me. During the creation procedure, the feeling of the energy
of nature flowing through my creations is so magic, makes me feel like I
have become one with the universe. " Stalo

and at the age of 15 she manage to sell her small jewels in a local handicraft
shop called “the Craft Shop” in Makarios Avenue in the capital of Cyprus, Nicosia.
