Handmade Komboloi | Rooted in Greek Heritage, Crafted in New York
Welcome to MyKomboloi — I’m Christine Curtis, a Greek American artisan who handcrafts every komboloi you see here. Each piece is inspired by the beauty and meaning of Greek worry beads, combining old-world tradition with modern design. Using natural materials like bone, horn, agate, nutmeg seed, and sterling silver, I carefully craft each strand by hand in New York. MyKomboloi is more than a shop — it’s a celebration of culture, mindfulness, and artistry. Whether you’re here for a meaningful keepsake, a wedding favor, or a gift with soul, thank you for supporting handmade.
About MyKomboloi
I founded MyKoboloi as a small Etsy shop in 2023, inspired by my deep appreciation for Komboloi, which I grew up using and admiring—particularly my grandfather’s. They have always been a source of relaxation and stress relief for me. After a minor accident left me unable to walk for a time, I turned to them once again as a way to refocus and find comfort. This experience inspired me to create my own versions of Komboloi to share with others. Each set is handcrafted to order, and I hope you find as much joy in them as I do in making them.
