Every FOAM piece passes through one set of hands before it reaches yours. Melita Mouliota ties each necklace individually. No molds, no production line, no two cords tied quite the same way.
One piece at a time
There is no factory behind FOAM. Melita chooses the imitation pearl, the natural shell, the agate and the acrylic, and sets each on cord by hand. The tension of the knot, the placement of a bead: small decisions, never identical.
Bare cord, bare skin
FOAM is deliberately unfinished in the way the sea is unfinished. Raw materials, visible cord, nothing plated to hide what it is. It is jewellery meant to be worn against skin, not kept behind glass.
Her hands as much as her materials
We think of Melita's work less as production and more as continuation of a way of making that predates the idea of a collection. When you tie one of her pieces on, you are wearing her hands as much as her materials.
