162 - Constantinople 1453

This ring represents an idea, not a figure:

A city where civilizations intersect.

Constantinople, the center of great civilizations throughout history such as Rome, Byzantium, and the Ottoman Empire, is one of the rare cities where East and West meet in the same place. This ring was born precisely from this idea.

The ancient coin form at the top of the ring carries the symbolic legacy of Mediterranean civilizations. The powerful and simple aesthetic language of the ancient world is at the heart of the ring in its embossed form.

The Rumi-style hand-engraved designs on the body of the coin represent the fluid lines of Anatolian and Islamic art. These motifs, carrying the idea of infinity, combine with the rigid and archaic coin aesthetic, bringing together two different artistic traditions in the same form.

The resulting design is more than just a ring;

It is an object that carries the aesthetic memory of different civilizations.

Crafted within the centuries-old craft tradition of the Grand Bazaar, this piece reflects the character of handiwork and a timeless design sensibility.

Constantinople 1453 is a design expression where the past and the present meet in the same form.
