How We Set Stones Without Casting

At Bolek Jewellery, we don’t cast metal around stones.
Instead, we build every bezel by hand: we turn gold into a perfect ring, cut it, and wrap it around the stone with controlled pressure. It’s slower. It’s harder.

But it gives you cleaner lines, stronger settings, and jewellery that is made to be worn every day – for decades.

    • Hand-formed gold bezel that hugs the stone perfectly

    • Clean, uninterrupted gold frame—no casting lines, no weak points

    • Built to last: stronger, smoother, more refined

  • Our atelier in Istanbul is female-run, with young artisans who specialise in stone setting and metalwork. Each piece is documented via our “Bolek Bond” guarantee card that shows who made it, and how.

  • Because when a stone is set with care, it’s less prone to loosening, it sits better, and it reflects light beautifully.

    Every piece we build carries the integrity of handcraft, not mass production.
