Inspired by fragments of history and the mystery of archaeological remains, DAGA was founded by Ayşe Daga in Istanbul, AD 2021, with the intention of creating jewellery that endures.

Her work draws from her Anatolian heritage and the ancient cultures of the Mediterranean. Each piece becomes an amulet — a modern relic that feels as if it could have emerged from the past — meant to be collected over time and carried with emotional resonance.

Daga approaches jewellery as objects of power shaped by a universal visual language. Through archaic forms and ancient symbolism, she seeks to capture the spirit of early civilizations while reimagining it for the present.

Daga Jewels sits at the intersection of the archaic and the modern — quiet symbolism shaped into sculptural, contemporary relics. Its ethos is shaped by a wide continuum of influences: archaic forms, ancient Mediterranean cultures, Anatolian heritage, and the refined geometry echoed throughout early civilizations. These foundations merge with a modern sensibility to create talismanic pieces that naturally adapt to the wearer’s style.

Each collection focuses on a distinct story from antiquity, allowing its aura and symbolism to guide the design and become a new form of communication between the past and the present.
