Atelier Manjé – About

atelier manjé — istanbul

jewelry designed
for the present moment

We design jewelry that carries the weight of a moment — the texture of a surface, the stillness of light at a certain hour. Each piece is made to be worn, not preserved. To be part of your days, not displayed above them.

01

form over trend

Our designs are not shaped by what is current. They are shaped by proportion, weight, and the way a surface catches light.

02

material honesty

We work with sterling silver and 14k solid gold. The quality is in the material itself — not just in how it looks, but in how it ages.

03

made to be worn

A piece of jewelry should feel like an extension of the body. We design for comfort, for dailiness, for the long run.

04

slow production

We produce in small batches. This keeps our craft intentional and our relationship with materials close.

01

sketch & concept

Everything begins with drawing. We work by hand — sketching shapes, proportions, and the way a piece will sit on the body before anything is cast or cut.

02

model & refine

Sketches become wax or resin models. We test weight, scale, and wearability. A design might be reworked several times before it moves forward.

03

casting

Pieces are cast by hand using traditional lost-wax casting. Each casting is individual — no two pieces are exactly alike.

04

finishing & setting

After casting, each piece is hand-filed, polished, and finished. Stones are set individually. The final check is tactile — we handle each piece before it leaves the atelier.

sterling silver

92.5% pure silver. Our base for most designs. It develops a natural patina over time — a sign of wear, not deterioration.

gold vermeil

Sterling silver with a thick layer of 18k or 24k gold. More durable and substantial than gold plating.

14k solid gold

For pieces designed to last a lifetime. Used in select collections and made-to-order work.

natural stone

Tourmaline, chalcedony, labradorite, and others — sourced for quality and used where the design calls for color or texture.
