Founded in 2002 in Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar, Sevan Bıçakçı is a high jewelry house that functions less like a brand and more like a custodian of lost Ottoman arts. Bıçakçı, a jeweler of Armenian descent who began his apprenticeship at age 12, is revered as the “King of Rings” for his ability to condense entire architectural and mythological worlds into single wearable artifacts. The brand is best known for its signature reverse intaglio technique, where intricate scenes—such as the domes of the Hagia Sophia or mythological figures—are carved into the back of gemstones like rock quartz, creating a three-dimensional, aquarium-like effect.
