About Mevaris! Fatma Altınbaş, a third-generation descendant of a renowned jewelry family, embraced her heritage's passion for gemstones and artisanship. She leveraged this rich background to carve out a notable career in the jewelry industry and further enriched her understanding by delving into academia. Altınbaş pursued a Ph.D. in anthropology, dedicating her research to the artisans of the Grand Bazaar and the preservation of its cultural legacy. Following two years of in-depth study, she authored "The Stones of Grand Bazaar," a narrative celebrating the craftsmen and the centuries-old tradition of the Grand Bazaar. Her immersion into the lives of these craftsmen inspired her to establish Mevaris, a venture named after the Ottoman word for "heritage." Altınbaş's inspiring journey and the insights gained were encapsulated in "Stones of the Grand Bazaar," a compelling book released by Rizzoli. 14K Yellow Gold Mevaris Jewelry is renowned for its exceptional and enduring pieces, designed to surpass fleeting fashions and seasonal changes.
