HESPÉRIDES Artisan Jewelry collection is inspired by Neroli, the blossom of bitter Orange fruit...
According to a Myth, Hespérides, the nymphs of evening and golden light of sunsets, guarded the tree bearing golden apple like bitter oranges, that Gaia gave to Hera during her marriage to Zeus.
The sacred garden with the bitter orange tree is also guarded by the hundred-headed dragon, named Ladon. Hercules, son of Zeus travels to reach the tree that is said to grant immortality to whoever eats the golden apples...
On the west edge of the world, he found Atlas, father of the nymphs, holding the weight of the world. Hercules told Atlas he would hold the World if Atlas went to Hera's garden to get golden apples for him. Atlas gladly agrees and Hercules takes the world from Atlas' shoulders. Atlas not wanting to take the weight of the world back told Hercules he would take the apples back himself. But, Hercules tricks Atlas into taking back the world, by telling Atlas he just needed him to have Atlas hold the world for a moment, so he could make a pad for his shoulders. Atlas took the world back from Hercules, and Hercules took off with the golden apples back to the King...

The Revolution Collection
Each piece of Hespérides is handmade in the Grand Bazaar, Istanbul. Continuing to focus on bespoke design and handmade fine jewelry, Hespérides' work celebrates natural stones set in unique textures and forms from the ancient world. Our design method begins with sketching and continues with wax casting, also known as cire perdue. This is an ancient process where metal alloys are made into a design from a wax mold. Since every gemstone is unique we create one-of-a-kind jewelry just for you...
