# Guild 79

> Objects of ancient earth, hand-finished in Istanbul — a guild of makers rooting jewellery in place, from living cities to ancient sites, each piece carrying a transferable record of provenance.

Guild 79 is a luxury atelier making hand-finished jewellery and objects. Every piece is editioned and ships with a transferable, verifiable certificate of provenance and ownership.

## Collections
- [Istanbul Collection](https://guild79.com/collections/istanbul) — Where two continents meet. Ten millennia of empire, faith, and gold layered beneath a single horizon.

- [London Collection](https://guild79.com/collections/london) — Where gold is asked to prove itself. Seven centuries of the hallmark, a thousand years of ceremony, struck into one city.

- [Miami Collection](https://guild79.com/collections/miami) — Where the Americas turn to face the Atlantic. A city raised by arrivals, its gold carried across the water as memory and worn as inheritance.

## The house
Guild 79 was co-founded in Istanbul by Ece Turhan Yavaş, a civil engineer who founded the house to make the jewellery she could not find, and Furkan Yavaş, a mechanical engineer who spent his career designing heavy duty diesel engine parts for the defence industry. The master jeweller, Kadir, has twenty years at the bench and ran his own online shop for four years with over 1,800 sales at a 4.8 star average across 691 reviews; that shop now rests while the bench serves Guild 79.

## Commissions
Private commissions are open. A brief can be a hand sketch, an AI render, a reference photograph, or plain sentences describing the piece. The studio replies within hours during the studio day. Bespoke pieces typically take 6 to 10 weeks from brief approval and are final sale. The enquiry form is at https://guild79.com/pages/private-consultation.

## How provenance works
Every Guild 79 piece carries a digital certificate of provenance and ownership. The record documents the piece's origin, materials, edition number, and a unique identifier, and can be transferred between owners.
