25 Years of Lito's Evil Eye

Greek designer Lito Karakostanoglou, founder of the Lito brand, knows how to be intriguing. When she imagines a piece, she enriches it with details that make it unique, bespoke, collectible.

This is how it has always been. A shining example is the Tu Es Partout collection which, launched 25 years ago and still trendy today, immediately became the brand’s must-have. Lito has resumed the now iconic Evil Eye and re-edited it as the main feature in nine new models.

The eye, which symbolizes protection against negative energies, is now interpreted with a rainbow palette of semi-precious stones, from tanzanite to spinel, alternated with enamels, drops of mother-of-pearl and diamonds. A limited edition composed of necklaces, rings, brooches and earrings, the result of a cultural contamination given by collaboration between the master goldsmiths at Lito’s Athens workshop and Russian iconographic artist Michael, author of marvelous, strictly hand-painted miniatures whose subject is the eye. The imaginative designer from Athens then knows how to create a surprise effect and a direct link with the wearer of her pieces thanks to the messages engraved on the back of each item, a secret link for an intimate two-way dialogue.
