aponine

Founded in 2023 in Istanbul by mother-and-daughter duo Yasemin and Nisa Çakar, Aponine is a fine jewelry house that balances traditional craftsmanship with a contemporary, color-forward aesthetic. Nisa, a GIA-trained gemologist, and her mother draw upon their shared passion for vintage jewelry and Istanbul’s rich artisanal heritage to create pieces that feel both deeply personal and expressive. The brand’s identity is anchored in the historic Grand Bazaar, where generations of craftspeople handmake each piece using techniques like meticulous pavé settings.
