The Sag Harbor Jewelry School
All Levels Welcomed
Located at the The Neo Byzantine Gold Studio in Sag Harbor, NY. The Sag Harbor Jewelry School is an introduction to the use of tools, decorative techniques, fabrication, stone setting, torch techniques, wax carving and molding. I aim to allow the student to pursue their own direction and style.
Resembling The Ancients
Imagine what it was like to fashion jewelry just like the ancients. Deceptively simple techniques that have barely changed in centuries. Flattening or rolling out the gold sheet, drawing gold wire, fusing pure metals. Now, add that exciting dash of color that a gemstone brings! Let’s collaborate as we use these tools, fabricating your dream piece with my expertise as your guide.

“Loving my creations! Eleni was the perfect and patient instructor to my sometimes overly ambitious ideas. I learned alot and, among other things, was able to repurpose and reinvent some of my childhood jewelry and turn it into a new favorite piece that I wear everyday. So satisfying! Thank you, Eleni – Am so glad I did that!”

One-on-one Smithing Lessons
Offering one-on-one silver and gold smithing lessons. Bring your ideas, your sketches and maybe even your old jewelry to re-style. Allow me to show you how to create something you’ll wear…a fresh and original piece out of your divorced jewelry.
Whether a total novice or a sage, you will gain in your experience at Neo-Byzantine Gold Studio. From gold nuggets and precious stones, we can fashion each unique piece, in the classical tradition.
Gold is alloyed, the wire is drawn, the sheet is rolled, pieces and parts are fused. My Neo-Byzantine style is a culmination of years at the bench and skills I will share with you – no matter what your interest or skill level.
