Our Story
Elara Istanbul is a handmade jewelry brand born from professional sailor Dilara Baydar's passion for glass art.
Murano glass is at the heart of the brand. The glass, imported from Venice, is hand-shaped in Istanbul. It is then combined with diamonds, semi-precious stones, and gold-plated silver details to create necklaces and earrings.
Each piece at Elara Istanbul is handcrafted. Therefore, the color, form, and texture of the glass may show slight variations in every product. These differences are a natural part of the production process and make each piece unique.
Dilara Baydar prioritizes the colors and form of Murano glass in her designs. She aims to transform the glass into a simple yet powerful jewelry form, combined with precious stones, without altering its inherent structure.
For Elara Istanbul, jewelry is not merely a complementary accessory. Each piece is a special, handcrafted object and an area for personal expression.
She creates works of art suitable for any time of day.
