Fanourakis, a 150-Year-Old Legacy of Innovation

Thomas Fanourakis, the founder, attended the Athens School of Fine Arts where he took painting lessons. He went on to work at the Archaeological Museum and furthered his skill in artistic research. In 1960, the house Fanourakis was established by Thomas Fanourakis in Heraklion, Crete.

It was actually a family business run by the outstanding expertise of family members who were merchants and goldsmiths. The Fanourakis company blossomed successfully, favoring its own independent design style; formulating exclusive strategies for the creation of elegant and complex jewelry designs.

His highly enterprising wife, Lina, has been at the head of management since then and has been actively engaged in contributing to the company’s achievements. She is a remarkable designer who not only manages the entire jewelry collection’s designing but the jewelry production procedures as well.

Lina and her small team of skilled craftsmen, goldsmiths and gem setters, make use of top quality materials, mostly gold, for the creation of exclusive and elegant jewelry pieces. Jewelry creations depicting a true reflection of the happy moments of life and the wondrous beauty of nature; all brought forth with intense passion and ingenuity. Lina Fanourakis is a highly-skilled designer who has a way of crafting unique gold creations, such as lace, cobwebs, tiny mosquitoes, flies, and beautiful butterflies.
