Footnotes:
Founded in Athens in 1895 by Efthimios Zolotas, at the foot of the Acropolis, after training in Parisian workshops, the Zolotas house became the jeweler to the Greek elite and, in 1910, created jewelry for the Greek royal family on the occasion of King George V’s coronation. Under the leadership of Xenophon Zolotas, the founder’s son, the house began collaborating in the early 1960s with Greek archaeological museums to reinterpret motifs from antiquity: lions, rams, meanders, and laurel leaves became the signature of its designs. Based in Paris since the early 1970s, the house has counted Maria Callas, Elizabeth Taylor, and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis among its clients.
