Symbols & Meanings

Jewelry has always carried meaning. In Istanbul, a blue nazar is pinned on newborns, gold is given at weddings and the Şahmeran legend is told across Anatolia. Our Symbols and Meanings guides explain where these motifs come from, what they traditionally stand for and how to wear them in solid gold. We present meanings as tradition and folklore, so you can choose a piece for the story it tells.

You will also find our birthstone and gemstone guides here, with honest notes on which of our pieces use natural stones and which use cubic zirconia.
