Handmade jewelry in the age of mass production, inspired by the simplicity and the imperfection of the antiquity. Mihanikî is a jewelry brand that brings together the art of the antiquity with abstract forms. After her undergraduate education in Political Science at Boğaziçi University, Istanbul, Mihanikî’s creator Sema Kentel was trained in different jewelry studios in the USA. The classes on Byzantine history that she took during her university years, coupled with her long term interest in the antiquity has influenced her relationship to the art of jewelry, resulting in Mihanikî’s timeless, unvarnished, and imperfect pieces. Sema Kentel’s designs are named after the Ottoman Turkish word with a Greek origin, Mihanikî, meaning “spontaneously.” The ‘imperfect’ journey taken by the word from its original in Greek to Ottoman Turkish is reverberated in Mihanikî’s designs, which reach out to the classical times from the 21st century Istanbul.
Material: Sterling silver
Care: All Mihanikî products are handmade, carefully and delicately produced; and they desire to be shown the same care from their new owners once they are sold. Keep Mihanikî products in their own boxes, or separate from each other, which would prevent their scratching, and extend their lifespan.
We advise you to keep your silver products in limited contact with air, or at least in spaces with minimum humidity. If your silver pieces tarnish, you can use the sponge delivered with your Mihanikî piece to clean it.
•The designs are handmade, their texture and color can differ slightly from the photograph.
•Refrain from contact with lotion, water, alcohol, parfumes and other chemicals.
