Elara Istanbul is a handcrafted jewelry brand born from professional sailor Dilara Baydar’s passion for the art of glass.

At the heart of the brand is Murano glass. Sourced from Venice, each piece of glass is shaped by hand in Istanbul, then combined with diamonds, semi-precious stones, and gold-plated silver details to create distinctive necklaces and earrings.

Every Elara Istanbul piece is individually handcrafted. As a result, subtle variations in color, form, and texture may occur from one piece to another. These differences are a natural part of the making process and give each design its unique character.

In her designs, Dilara Baydar places the colors and organic forms of Murano glass at the forefront. Her approach is to preserve the natural character of the glass while bringing it together with precious stones in a refined, understated, and powerful jewelry form.

At Elara Istanbul, jewelry is more than a finishing accessory. Each piece is a handcrafted object of art and a personal form of expression.

The brand creates wearable works of art designed to accompany you throughout every moment of the day.
