Gemma’s Journey: Blending Ancient Filigree with Modern Myth & Jewellery Design

Oneira Studio was founded and created by London jeweller, Gemma Miller, whose creative journey led her to settle in Athens, Greece—a city steeped in myth and beauty. It is here, inspired by the Greek word Oneira, meaning "dreams," that Gemma’s vision took shape.

From a young age, Gemma was captivated by the magic and significance of her dreams. Every night, she would awaken with a sense of wonder, reflecting on the stories her imagination had woven. For Gemma, each dream felt like a thread being unraveled—an endless tapestry of possibility. This fascination with dreams, mythology, and the art of storytelling eventually led her to the ancient Greek myth of Ariadne’s thread, a tale of guidance, strength, and escape.

In her work, Gemma uses the timeless art of filigree—a delicate technique of weaving fine wire into intricate patterns—to echo the symbolism of Ariadne’s thread. Just as Ariadne’s thread helped Theseus navigate the labyrinth and defeat the Minotaur, Gemma’s designs embody the strength, courage, and clarity needed to navigate life's own labyrinth.

The filigree technique, with its ethereal beauty, captures the transient nature of dreams, transforming them into tangible works of art. Each piece is infused with a sense of mystery and magic, evoking the otherworldly grace of Greek mythology’s gods and goddesses.

Gemma’s jewellery is more than just adornment—it's a source of empowerment. Designed to inspire the wearer to walk their own path with purpose, her creations serve as reminders of the duality of life: joy and sorrow, light and darkness, tame and wild. Through these contrasts, Gemma invites us to celebrate our shared humanity and connect with our deepest values.

With a rich blend of mythology, philosophy, and art, each design tells a story—a fusion of ancient symbolism and modern elegance. Each item is imbued with unique meanings and qualities, making it not just jewellery, but a personal talisman.

Oneira Studio is a celebration of the journey—an exploration of the past, present, and future, woven together to create beautiful, meaningful connections. Timeless treasures, meant to be cherished for a lifetime.
