Say hello to our newest IDC artist! Eylem from Designed by Eylem Aktepe
Designed by Eylem Aktepe handcrafts jewellery from raw, unplated brass and natural gemstones. Every pair is individually designed and handmade, meaning no two earrings are ever repeated; jewellery created to feel as unique as the person wearing it.
Inspired by Merlin the magician, these statement brass earrings celebrate creativity, imagination and the magic of individuality. Working primarily with wire, each design is shaped by hand into organic forms inspired by nature, geometry, colour and light.
🌿 Why raw brass?
Brass is a natural alloy and one of the world’s most sustainable and highly recycled metals. Merlin Earrings are not plated, so there is no surface coating to wear away. Over time, raw brass naturally develops a beautiful patina as it reacts with oxygen and moisture. Prefer a brighter shine? A quick polish will restore its original glow.
