Some stories are woven through history, others are cast in gold. For Alexia and Stalo Kardes, the mother-daughter duo behind YSSO, jewellery is more than just an art form—it's a conversation between past and present, and a reflection of their shared Greek heritage.
Founded in 2020 in Athens, the now-West London-based brand is a family story that takes Stalo’s thirty-year background in architecture and Alexia’s corporate experience to inform both their sculptural designs and the structure of their business. Blending old-world craftsmanship with a strikingly modern flair, they have been able to balance contrasting experiences with a fresh perspective to hand-craft unique pieces of jewellery stretching from earrings and necklaces to rings and brooches.
