Care instruction

Gold-plating: To maintain your jewelry, avoid exposure to liquids and constant contact with other surfaces, and store it in its own sealed bag when not wearing it. Please note that gold-plating usually wears off over time with common wear, and requires your care.

Silver: To maintain your jewelry for longer, avoid exposure to liquids and constant contact with other surfaces, and store it in its own sealed bag when not wearing it. Silver naturally tarnishes over time, but you can polish your silver jewelry with a silver cleaning cloth.

Glass: Glass beads can be fragile, so we recommend handling  your glass  jewelry with care and removing your jewelry before heavy work.

HANDMADE All pieces are handmade to order using the materials sourced from the Grand Bazaar district of Istanbul.

LOCALLY SOURCED Beads and findings are all locally sourced and handpicked with care.

MINIMAL WASTE Handmade to order in limited quantities depending on available beads.

UPCYCLED Part of the collection are made with beads upcycled from vintage jewelry or accessories.
