When Marcus Platrides was 11 an AC/DC cassette gave a new perspective to his life. Though he initially studied economics and politics, a visit to Crazy Pig Designs in London was enough for him to make a career change to rock jewellery. The low demand in Cyprus led him to Europe. The civil war in Sri-Lanka closed his supplier there. Yet he never gave up. He returned to Cyprus and invested in online retail which has been growing ever since. In his work he uses old-school manufacturing techniques, passed down to him by Master Tsolakkis, combined with modern raw materials and tools. His exclusive pieces of jewellery are inspired by Cyprus’ ecclesiastic, religious, Roman, Byzantine and templar history and have been awarded with various international prizes.
