APONINE is a celebration of beauty, creativity, and craftsmanship, born from the shared passion of mother-and-daughter duo Yasemin and Nisa. Born and raised in Istanbul—a city renowned for its rich jewelry heritage and masterful craftsmanship—Nisa grew up guided by her mother’s vision and refined point of view, immersed in the enchanting world of vintage and colorful gemstones.

Their love for antique and collectible pieces shaped not only their aesthetic but also a lifelong appreciation for the artistry and storytelling behind every jewel.

As they traveled together and collected exquisite jewelry, Nisa began designing pieces for herself—bold, playful, and full of color. Each creation was met with admiration from friends and family, inspiring them to bring their shared vision to life: a brand that celebrates emotional expression, confidence, and freedom through jewelry.

To deepen her expertise, Nisa enrolled in GIA’s Graduate Gemologist Program in London, further shaping the vision for APONINE.

Today, Aponine blends heritage, expertise, and vibrant creativity into collections that spark joy and inspire authentic self-expression. Rooted in the word Aponia—a state of spiritual serenity and freedom—the brand embraces the natural energy of gemstones, celebrating their beauty and symbolism. 

Every piece embodies boldness, color, energy, and playfulness—crafted to transform everyday moments into expressions of individuality, reflecting the love, guidance, and passion at the heart of Aponine since the very beginning."
