Aniw Vlachaki is the founder and creative force behind Aniw Shapes, a jewellery brand established in 2000 and based in Athens, Greece.

Her artistic journey began under the profound influence of her grandfather, a sculptor, whose legacy inspired her earliest explorations in fashion design. Over time, her passion for craftsmanship led her to the art of silversmithing and goldsmithing, where she discovered her true medium: jewellery as wearable sculpture.

Each piece by Aniw is handcrafted using the ancient lost wax technique—a method with deep historical roots in Greece, originally adopted from Asia. Sculpting each form individually in wax, she brings to life creations that celebrate imperfection, fluidity, and feminine energy.

The essence of Aniw Shapes lies in its devotion to raw beauty. Inspired by both nature and art, the jewellery features organic forms, plasticity, movement, texture, and a quiet sensuality. The shapes echo influences from Ancient Greek heritage, Art Nouveau painting, and Symbolist art, all reinterpreted through the lens of the modern woman.
