Goldsmithing in Istanbul has a rich and fascinating history that dates back to the Byzantine era. The grand bazaar, which was established in the 15th century, quickly became a bustling center for craftsmen, including countless talented goldsmiths. These skilled artisans crafted intricate jewelry and other exquisite items for the city's elite. In fact, Ottoman sultans frequently entrusted these goldsmiths with the creation of opulent artifacts and personal adornments, solidifying Istanbul's reputation as a premier hub for goldsmithing. The knowledge and expertise of these goldsmiths have been passed down through generations, ensuring that this vibrant tradition thrives in Istanbul to this day.

The Cevherun workshop carries on this time-honored tradition by nurturing apprentices. Only the most skilled artisans can earn the title of goldsmith, after years of training under the guidance of a master. Each piece of Cevherun jewelry is crafted by the hands of just two master goldsmiths, supported by a select group of apprentices. This meticulous approach ensures that every item meets the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship.
