Delving Into Tradition: The Filakto Jewelry Collection at Tereza's Greek Concept Store

Made with absolute care and precision, the centuries-old tradition of Filakto takes on new life in our distinguished jewelry collection at Tereza of Naxos.

What is a Filakto?

A revered object often referred to as an amulet, talisman, or charm, a Filakto is a symbol of protection believed to bestow good fortune on its possessor. This cherished item reflects the essence of familial love and devotion. Historically, it was imagined as a compact, meticulously handcrafted pillow by a doting grandmother, waiting in anticipation of a new baby's arrival. When the baby is born, this beloved memento is carefully positioned in the crib on a pin. It serves as both a good-luck charm and a protective guardian, warding off any ill-intent and attracting positivity and health.

Filakto Jewelry: Tradition Meets Modernity

Tradition takes on a modern guise at Tereza of Naxos. We have taken this heartfelt tradition and given it a contemporary twist without losing its original significance. Our precious Filakto jewelry is crafted from 925 silver, finished with a gold-plated sheen for that touch of timeless elegance. Each piece is adorned with a fascinating blue 'evil eye' and an array of semi-precious beads in a charming Baby Blue shade. The spirit of the Filakto is lovingly preserved in every item in our collection. Each jewelry piece stands as a testament to the individual wearer's uniqueness, carrying with it blessings of good fortune, protection, and familial love.
