Our Story:
Where Jewelry Meets Memory
Timeless Stories. Handcrafted Meanings.
At Silk&Silver, we believe jewelry is more than adornment — it's a vessel of memory, a whisper of nature, a mirror to your essence. Every piece we create is born from the belief that we are part of nature, not apart from it. Our mission is to reconnect people to meaning — through metal, wood, stone, and story.
Heritage
Founded in 2003 by artist and designer Dilek Platin on the ancient Silk Road, Silk&Silver blends timeless materials with soulful inspiration. The name reflects our foundation: Silk, symbolizing flow, elegance, and origin. Silver, our chosen medium, honors the hands that shape it and the stories it carries.

Women-Led. World-Oriented
Silk&Silver is proudly led by a woman entrepreneur — from design to production, storytelling to marketing. As we grow internationally, we maintain our devotion to personal connection and ethical artistry. Our creations travel the world, but their roots remain in the land, stories, and hands that shaped them.
We invite you to explore a world where time slows down, form follows feeling, and jewelry becomes memory.

Artisanal Craft Meets Conscious Design
Silk and Silver is more than a name — it's the essence of our design philosophy. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted in our nature-embedded atelier in Mudanya, Türkiye. We use 925K silver, gold, porcelain, meerschaum, sustainably sourced wood, freshwater pearls, coral, ammonite, and other organic or semi-precious stones.
Our creations blend traditional craftsmanship — including wax carving, silver inlay, and cold enamel — with modern techniques and slow design principles. We produce in small, mindful batches. Whenever possible, we refine and reuse materials, minimizing waste and honoring the earth.
Nature. Myth. Memory.
Inspired by the Anatolian and Mediterranean spirit, our sculptural and contemporary jewelry draws from mythology, personal memory, nature’s rhythms, and cultural heritage. Every piece tells a story — sometimes ancient, sometimes intimate — waiting to be completed by the wearer.
Some collections are born in collaboration, like our wooden series crafted with Mr. Ziya. Others evolve through the hands of Dilek herself, merging artistic vision with emotional depth.
A Story Shaped by Hands, Rooted in Heart
At Silk&Silver and BebiÅŸka, we craft more than jewelry — we create keepsakes that speak to the soul. Every curve, every polished edge carries the echo of nature’s rhythm and the warmth of human touch. From the first ring forged to the first spoon offered, our designs are born from the simple belief that memories deserve form, and love deserves a vessel.
