Our Craft and Its Masters
Each of our artwork contains a story that has been repeated over the course of millennia, that could be found in the details with the aims of celebrating their ancient beauty. The luxury in our designs signify the craftsmanship of the masters of the craft. We only work with a handful of craftsmen with whom we have deep and meaningful relationships.
“Our talented craftsmen reflect their care for quality to every single element from selecting and hand cutting gemstones to hand beading necklaces.”
THE FORGOTTEN ART, INTAGLIO
If you explore the intricate details of our designs, you'll discover the captivating artistry of 'intaglio,' a timeless technique uniquely engraved onto delicate gemstones. Derived from the Italian word for 'engrave,' intaglio is an ancient jewelry craft that dates back to antiquity. In those times, meticulously carved gems symbolized wealth and status, often engraved onto semi-precious stones like carnelian and jasper.
Our modern take on this heritage incorporates exquisite gemstones such as aquamarine and emerald, elevating the art form to new heights. Historically, these masterpieces served as imperial insignias of prestige, celestial protection, and personal seals for wax impressions. Kings, emperors, and the elite prized and traded these miniature works of art, making them treasures of both history and design.
The beauty of intaglio jewelry lies in the intricate details carved into each gemstone. Every design tells a story, meticulously hand-sculpted, engraved, and completed by skilled craftsmen in Istanbul’s iconic Grand Bazaar.
Our artisans, who have perfected the craft of intaglio for over 20 years, bring centuries of tradition to life in every piece. Inspired by the vision of poets and thinkers who once wove these timeless myths, our mission is to preserve and share this heritage. By combining artistry like intaglio and hand-sculpting, we create designs that are not only unique but deeply connected to their rich stories, celebrating their divine beauty.
SCULPTED FROM THE STORY
Each piece is sculpted from ancient stories, blending timeless myths with exquisite craftsmanship. Through intricate details and meaningful designs, we bring the beauty of these tales to life, creating jewelry that carries the whispers of history and the elegance of the present.
