Our name constitutes a symbol of love for what we do, a seal on our art with respect in tradition and the historical existence of each people of this planet.

Kiatra… means stone in the language of the Vlachs, the indigenous people of the mountain range of Pindus, a mountainous “backbone” running through Greece.

We are a group of friends who love the handmade, unique jewel, the arts and it is our own way to pay tribute to our ancestors and to a land, the history of which is mysteriously lost in the passage of millennia… We love anything traditional, from whatever place in the world it may come from. We consider the navel of the Earth being the heart of each individual.

Having as a mental starting point the mountain range of Tzoumerka, somewhere in the high peaks of Pindus, in a mountainous neighbourhood of Greece, a village perched on the steep and rocky slopes, has exported to the whole planet some of the best silversmiths and goldsmiths in the world. 

Kalarrytes are known for centuries for the tradition they have created in the silversmithing and goldsmithing. This knowledge has been handed down empirically by generation to generation.  Some of those artisans dominate the world of modern fashion (e.g. Bulgari).
