Aybeniz Tilbe Yıldırım is the founder, designer, and craftswoman behind Hespérides. With a background in Fine Arts and Interior Architecture, Tilbe has always been fascinated by ancient civilizations, archaeology, gemstones, and the stories objects can tell. This passion became the foundation of Hespérides, a jewelry brand where myth, history, and contemporary design meet.

Tilbe hand-sculpts each design in wax, shaping every detail with precision, before it is cast in sterling silver or gold. She then sets each piece with carefully chosen gemstones, balancing colour, cut, and character. Her approach unites traditional goldsmithing craftsmanship with a refined, modern sensibility, creating jewelry that is both timeless and evocative, as if it could have been discovered in the ruins of an ancient world.
