If you are a lover of Gold jewelry, don't buy anything until you have seen their work. People sometimes ask me why, of the zillions of jewelry stores in Athens and the islands, do I pick this one little shop in the Plaka. The answer is very simple. Much of the jewelry you find in the stores come from workshops and are bought wholesale. Byzantino is owned by the craftsmen who make the jewelry, and if there are better jewelers in Athens, I have not seen them.
