Kadir at the bench, loupe to his eye, inspecting a ring

Meet Kadir

The Master · Production Partner

Kadir has spent twenty years at the bench. Private clients, and some of the best known jewellery houses in Turkey, wear his work without knowing his name. At 79 the craft is his hands, and the name is on the piece.

Four years on Etsy with his own shop. Over 1,800 pieces sold, 4.8 stars across 691 reviews. The shop rests while the bench belongs to 79.

The same emerald ring, held in fingers at the bench and finished in its box — The same emerald ring. At the bench, then finished.

Masterpieces
