Jean Prounis founded her eponymous brand in 2017 to create thoughtful jewelry that speaks to history. Inspired by her Greek heritage and by the visual language of her great-grandparents’ New York nightclub, Versailles, Prounis designs are an ode to origins. Jean reimagines ancient artifacts, like those she discovered in her bibliophile grandfather’s book collection, as objects that are elegant, wearable, and enduring. Handwrought in Manhattan’s Jewelry District with a signature 22-karat recycled gold alloy, antique diamonds, and other recovered and contemporary finds, Prounis’s museum-quality modern heirlooms sustain the legacy of fine jewelry in New York City.
