Lalaounis jewelry is closely identified with style icon Jackie O. In 1968, Jacqueline Kennedy married the Greek shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis. As a result, during the late 60’s and the 70’s all things Greek became very au courant.

Ilias Lalaounis’s gold jewelry collections celebrated Classical, Hellenistic and Minoan history. A fourth-generation jeweler, Lalaounis took over a family firm and over a period spanning almost ¾ of a century, transformed it. Lalaounis became and remains one of the world’s leading jewelry houses. Pieces by Lalaounis are sought-after for their historically influenced designs and exceptional craftsmanship.
In his his 1984 book, Metamorphoses, Ilias discusses the seashell as inspiration for a line of jewelry. "In tackling this new subject our task was to understand the constituents that make the shell a thing of beauty, to capture the elusive yet mathematically precise equilibrium of its structure and to translate all that into jewelry suited to the taste and aesthetic requirements of our time. The soft curvature and the capricious three-dimensional  twist of seashells seem to be made to underline and enhance female beauty when work around the neck...of a modern woman." p. 229
