About Olga
Olga Ganoudis an internationally renowned jewelry designer continues to create a stir in the fashion world by gaining much attention from her collection designed for the ABC television hit series “LOST”. Olga was totally enchanted with the TV show LOST, which she recorded to watch in her studio. “It was a fun diversion”, says Olga.
Then she started thinking. What if she were on an uncharted island? How would she apply herself and her talents? What would she design and what materials would she use? Inspired by the show’s enigmatic symbols and unusual numerology, she made her first “native” necklace. Olga’s necklaces and bracelets caught the eye of an ABC executive. And voila! Olga Ganoudis’s designs were chosen to represent the show on the ABC online store.
Innovativeness and creativeness has been her tools to offer new styles to her clients. Her wide travelling experience and her Greek heritage, along with exotic cultures she immersed herself into, influence her esthetic expression. These historical and mystical connections play a major role in her work and creative journey. The Olga’s “brand” marries style, developing craftsmanship and alluring aspects of various stone and metal textures.
Considering the important role that the surface can play in jewelry it is natural for Olga to focus on the fundamental forms that are born from organic or biomorphic shapes. From here, the integration of texture on such materials as silver, bronze and copper with colors of semi precious stones evolves into her unique jewelry design. The juxtaposition of a hard grainy texture next to the smooth surface of a pearl helps her to create the visual stimulus which inspires one of her several unique collections.
Olga’s designs are sold to galleries across the country and at various Craft Shows. To view her show schedule check her FACEBOOK page. Become a fan!
