Cathleen and Kostas met on the island of Crete where Kostas was vacationing from architecture school in Italy, and Cathleen was living during a year of deferment from international law school. They bonded over music and food. Jewelry came later, by chance, as a means of supporting themselves selves as students in Europe for many years. Thirty years later, Cathleen and Kostas remain the exclusive designers of Anatoli jewelry.
Their mutual love of travel, history, nature, and architecture inspire the detail in their pieces. Their love of art, history, nature, and architecture found full expression in jewelry design. Sources of inspiration include European wrought ironwork, jewelry of ancient civilizations, and the interplay of handmade textures and weaves of metal.
