"My favourite piece of jewellery is actually this ring, that I always wear and it is my mom’s first ring, so it’s a piece of hers that comes with me every day. I never remove it."
Allegra Pomilio is an Italian photographer, home-cook, writer, and host of culinary gatherings, whose world revolves around the connection between food, culture, and the art of living. Her connection with Greece eventually led her to the island of Andros, where she founded Mèlisses, a home away from home for the curious mind.
A piece of jewellery becomes truly precious, because of what it represents. It might carry the memory of someone who once wore it, the love of someone who gifted it, or the significance of a moment in which we chose it for ourselves.
