Our story Back in 1971 Kostas Kotsalidis opened a small jewellery workshop in the center of Athens, Greece. Through devoted work and excellent service, Kostas led the business into a path of fast growth from its early years. But it was his desire for unique craftsmanship and fine design that soon gained him the recognition and respect of his peers. In less than 10 years, Kostas Kotsalidis creations were sold in jewellery stores nationwide. Spending their childhood in the workshop, watching Kostas Kotsalidis craft his creations, inspired his two sons, Nassos and Stratis, to get involved in the business from an early age. By 1999, Nassos and Stratis were ready to take up the family business and lift it to its ever growing success in the Greek and international markets. Belonging to a family with a 40-year tradition in jewellery, Nassos fell in love with the art and longed to walk in his father’s footsteps. When the time came for the brothers to take over the business, they decided to adopt a new identity and launch a distinctive Greek approach in their jewellery lines. Thus ‘GREGIO’ was born, or else... Greek jewellery! Being the oldest brother, Nassos undertook GREGIO’s leadership, instigating the effort which would lead the company in its new exciting era. Having completed his degree in Germanistik studies and after pursuing his passion for traveling, he was equipped with a plethora of experiences which had broadened his horizons and shaped his vision for the company’s next ventures.
