About us

Every creation always starts from inspiration. Sometimes from the colors of Cretan nature, sometimes from the neighborhoods of the old town or the memories left by a trip to Chania. Our goal is to create objects that are not just a beautiful accessory or decoration, but an authentic piece of local artistic creation.

The creative process

For Irini, one of the two people behind the brand "Rodi", creation is a way of expression and communication. Through colors, textures and shapes, she transforms images, emotions and experiences into unique handmade objects that carry their own story.

The materials

Irini works with two basic materials: the traditional clay for our pottery and the polymeric clay for jewelry. Each piece is designed and made entirely by hand, with attention to detail and respect for the value of handmade.

Our ceramics and jewellery are a special choice for those seeking authentic Chania souvenirs, as they combine modern aesthetics with local inspiration. Many visitors choose our creations as souvenirs from Chania, so they can take a little piece of Crete and their memories from the island with them.

Why Polymeric Clay?

Many of you ask us what makes our earrings so special. The answer lies in the unique properties of polymer clay:

Incredible Lightness

Despite their bulk or striking designs, the earrings remain so light that you forget you're wearing them. This makes them ideal for everyday wear and long-lasting comfort.

Color Vibrancy

The material allows for the creation of unique shades, designs and patterns that retain their vibrancy over time. Thus, each piece of jewelry acquires its own distinct identity.

Durability

It is a modern material, specially designed for the manufacture of jewelry that withstands daily use, without losing its aesthetics and quality.

Each piece is molded, cut, baked and assembled by hand. There are no mass-produced molds nor two objects that are exactly alike. This uniqueness is what makes each creation of "Rodi" special.

Whether you are looking for a special gift, authentic handmade souvenirs from Chania, or a piece of jewelry that will remind you of your moments in Crete, each of our creations is made with passion, imagination and love for the art of handmade.
