Konstantina Mahlia’s eponymous jewelry collection brings the boldness of Mediterranean history straight to your fingers, neck and ears with Cabochon rubies, diamonds, onyx and black intaglios handmade by Latvian artisans (how’s that for exotic?) nestled in 18K gold or sterling alloy.

I love how they’re embedded with a lexicon of ancient cross cultural iconography. It’s like wearing a bit of history (even if you didn’t pay attention in your ancient history class).

Here are a few of our favorites:

Ahani Earrings

Celine Necklace

Demetra Ring

Dante Ring

Pamela Cross

If you like what you see, Devon Shops is having a trunk show with Konstantina herself on June 10th from 12 to 8pm at 111 E. 27th St.
