What Is a Greek Cross?

Unlike the Latin cross, the equal arm cross (also called the crux immissa quadrata) features four arms of identical length, forming a perfect plus sign. This balanced form has been used in Greek Orthodox cross iconography, Byzantine art, and ancient Hellenic culture for millennia.

From Greek workshops to your jewelry box: How it works

Built on 20 years of relationships, not a supply chain

1

We only represent artists we personally vouch for

Internationally recognized, trusted by collectors, active for generations — these are Greece's best, and we know because we've been there, met their families, and staked our name on theirs.

2

We curate the collection

One of the largest online selections of handcrafted Greek jewelry. We've spent years choosing pieces that carry real craft — and we can often source beyond what's listed if you don't see exactly what you're after.

3

Your piece, your way

Retail stores carry whatever sold last season. Here, the entire range of what each workshop makes is available to you — any size, stone, or design variation, made to order.

4

They craft it in Greece

Your order flows from Athena Gaia directly to the workshop. Pieces are made to order by hand. Production time varies by piece and is shown on each listing — typically 2 to 4 weeks — the time it takes to do it right.

5

We handle the whole journey

Shipping, customs, US import fees and tariffs — all handled. The price at checkout is exactly what you pay.
