Prounis 22k yellow gold chorda band
$1,340
Prounis Jewelry, the handcrafted gold line envisioned by Jean Prounis, evokes its founder’s Greek heritage and New York City roots in equal measure.
With a family lineage deeply embedded in the city — Prounis’ great-grandfather co-owned the iconic 1940s nightclub Versailles — the jeweler proudly crafts her pieces in New York’s Jewelry District.
A metalsmithing graduate from Skidmore, Prounis launched her line in 2017, just 18 months after graduation, infusing each creation with personal and historical narratives. Rendered in recycled 22-karat gold — chosen by the designer for its unique brilliance and softness (allowing the wearer to imbue it with their own marks), and everyday wearability — pieces draw inspiration from myriad museum artifacts, spanning Greek benches to Germanic vases.
