Everyone has a story.  Mine has a new chapter.  Vivian Paul Anton Jewelry Design.

          My story cannot be told without looking back to the very beginning when my father, Paul, as a young shepherd boy in Greece, left his family and homeland to journey to a new land and new opportunity - America.  He never looked back.  He just looked ahead -- into the unknown filled with possibilities.  

          With unending determination and optimism, he took risks, worked hard, and always kept learning if not challenging himself.   He met my mother, Marcia and together they started a family and business predicated on those key virtues.   

          Following my mother, a music teacher, I earned a degree in education that propelled me into the lifelong learner I am today.  Inspired by my father's craft, I embraced the goldsmith trade and studied as a graduate student at the Gemological Institute of America in LA and NY to become a Jewelry Designer and Graduate Gemologist.  

          From successful exhibitions at galleries in LA, NY, Houston, and Chicago, published work in Mademoiselle, Vogue, Harper’s, Elle, Woman’s Wear Daily, and others, to celebrity owners of my work like Antonio Freeman, Jenni Pulos, and Giannis Antetokounmpo, my work, and style have been on their own journey, in search of new challenges to keep growing and creating.

          After 40 years in the retail business, Vivian Π. Anton Jewelry Design is the next chapter of my story.  I'm looking ahead to unknown, exciting possibilities with the same determination and optimism that led my father to America, where he established and grew Paul's Jewelers, and guided my creativity and style into this new brand  -- all inspired by the place where it all began, Greece.
