Venyx

Venyx, an illustrious jewelry brand, was founded by Eugenie Niarchos in 2012. Descending from a lineage of notable historical figures – her great-grandfather being the Greek shipping magnate Stavros Niarchos – Eugenie sought to blend her rich heritage with her modern, eclectic style. The brand name, "Venyx," draws inspiration from Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty, highlighting the brand’s dedication to crafting striking and celestial-themed pieces.

Eugenie’s foray into the world of design commenced with a degree in fashion studies, followed by extensive experience under the tutelage of iconic designers such as Diana Picasso at Christie's jewelry department. Her vibrant upbringing surrounded by luxurious artifacts and global influences infused her creations with a distinct mix of classic charm and futuristic innovation.

The inaugural collection, ‘Voyager,’ launched in 2012, encapsulates Venyx's ethos of exploration and transformation. Utilizing a diverse array of materials like enamels, diamonds, and unique gemstones, the collection celebrated celestial symbolism, with motifs inspired by constellations and cosmic phenomena. It was met with critical acclaim, establishing Venyx as a brand synonymous with avant-garde jewelry artistry.

One of Venyx's remarkable achievements is the utilization of advanced techniques such as 3D printing in metals and the intricate use of an array of colored gemstones. This innovative approach has helped the brand carve a significant place in the competitive landscape of high-end jewelry.

Another notable highlight in Venyx’s history is the collaboration with Gemfields, a world-leading supplier of responsibly sourced colored gemstones. This partnership emphasized sustainable luxury, aligning with contemporary values and further elevating the brand’s global image.
