Actina creates modern heirloom jewelry

inspired by the Mediterranean way of life

Actina creates modern heirloom jewelry

Actina means light in Greek - a beautiful nudge to the inspiration for Actina’s designs. Based on the island of Cyprus, Actina is deeply inspired by the Mediterranean, its people, landscapes and architecture. Geometric forms found in nature, Mediterranean customs or building styles are mirrored in many of Actina’s designs.

Mediterranean way of life

Made by hand in a small studio, every piece of Actina jewelry is a reminder to slow down and appreciate the little things in life. Consume less, treat the pieces you buy with care, live a more intentional life that is sustainable and maybe takes a little bit of inspiration from the Mediterranean lifestyle: it’s slower, simpler, more balanced and focused on the people that surround you.

KINDNESS

Be kind to people and the environment, be kind to yourself. At Actina we want to show natural beauty and real people, not an ideal that nobody can live up to. With our work we want to encourage a more sustainable life that doesn’t take too much from our planet.

we value

SLOW LIVING

Enjoy the everyday, don’t wait for special occasions. Focus on the simple, most important things. Spend time with our loved ones whenever possible. Actina stands for calmness and peace of mind in a often much too busy world. A state of peace that allows us to slow down and refocus on the most important things in life.

we value

HONESTY

With a focus on sustainability and fairness, we want our business and its processes to be transparent. That means being honest about our mission and purpose and giving you an insight on our material sources and work practices.

we value

CREATIVITY

All of Actina’s pieces are unique, jewelry you wouldn’t find anywhere else. Our designer’s creativity is fueled by the rich inspiration around her: the nature, people and lifestyle of the Mediterranean. Being creative makes her feel alive - and it’s that passion and deep connection to her roots that makes our pieces so special.

I WANT TO GIVE YOU
A PIECE OF THE MEDITERRANEAN

I WANT TO GIVE YOU
A PIECE OF THE MEDITERRANEAN

My journey as a jewelry designer sent me on a quest for self-discovery and I decided to open a dialogue with my values, my truth, and choose who I want ACTINA to represent. Dipping my toes in the deep waters of self and the chaos of creativity, while hoping to be guided to my next step of self-discovery, I landed right back home.

from the designer

I caught myself staring absentmindedly at the lemon tree at the entrance of my jewelry studio. The intoxicating, welcoming scent of lemon tree blossoms. Sun-kissed skin. Fresh homemade lemonade. These are a few of my dearest things in the whole world. Tingling all of my five senses. I thought to myself, how can I communicate these senses into jewelry?

Actina Jewelry aims to make you feel special and valued, to remind you to live your life more intentionally. Modern timeless designs, handcrafted from quality materials are meant to be yours for decades, perhaps even passed down to future generations. Your piece of Actina Jewelry is a reminder of how special you are, a reminder you carry with you on your own skin everyday.

Actina encourages a slower way of living, a more sustainable, kinder life. When we look for more balance in our lives, we find that the most important things are simple. I always design with this slower, more sustainable way of life in mind, to make pieces that enrich your life in a simple way, and fit into this balance you create for yourself.

With love from Cyprus, Maria

Love all my jewellery from ACTINA. Very elegant and go with pretty much any outfit. Have been wearing my rings and necklace every day for a year now and they still look like new.
