Georgiou G: A Visionary Designer's Journey

Georgiou G is a distinguished name in the world of vintage costume jewelry. Founded in 1984 by George Georgiou and his wife Judith in San Francisco, California, this brand has left an indelible mark on the fashion industry.

George Georgiou, born in 1940 on the island of Cyprus, brought his academic background in economics and mathematics to the world of design. In 1974, he founded Kolonaki Imports, Inc., a retail store in San Francisco known for its unique collection of gifts and clothing sourced from Greece and around the globe.

George's creative flair led him to design his own clothing and accessories, giving birth to George Design Studios, Inc. This corporation housed various brands, focusing on textiles, clothing, footwear, hats, and accessories.

Within this creative space, the design team at Georgiou G crafted high-quality jewelry using gold and silver metal alloys, enamelwork, art glass, imitation pearls, and rhinestones. These pieces embodied a timeless elegance and attention to detail that set them apart.

While the Georgiou G jewelry trademark ceased in 1999, George Charal Georgiou's legacy lives on. Now an accomplished fashion photographer at the age of 82, he continues to leave his mark on the fashion world. His brand, Georgiou, remains popular globally, a testament to the enduring appeal of his designs.
