About Emma Krafft Jewellery

Emma Krafft was a German-born Templar exiled to the Ottoman Empire in the late 19th century. When she met the head of the Ottoman railways at the Krafft family-owned Carmel hotel in Haifa, a love story was born. They married and moved to Constantinople, and the rest is history. Emma was an avid lover of jewels, many of which are still in the family to this day. Founder of the brand is great-granddaughter of Emma Krafft, Esin Nalbantoğlu. The Turkish-born designer is internationally experienced, having grown up in the US and Singapore and educated in Canada and the Netherlands. Over the course of her career, she has served as Art Director for architects, industrial and fashion designers, during which her graphics works have received numerous international awards. Inspired by the traditions of craft and influenced by her years in the fashion world, she established the Emma Krafft brand in 2016. The studio is currently based in Istanbul. Emma Krafft Jewellery is founded on the idea of preserving tradition and the culture of metalsmithing. Nostalgic in its nature, the collection is inspired by the merging of cultures and the ancient making traditions of the Istanbul Grand Bazaar. Our pieces are handcrafted by Esin herself with the utmost care, in the hope that they are treasured for years to come.
