Merlon is a design studio founded in 2020 in Istanbul. With a foundation in architectural thinking, the brand is not simply a jewelry label, but a practice of crafting wearable architectural forms. Each design is conceived like a part of a structure: a passage, a surface, a load-bearing mass, or a defining line. Its design arises not from ornamentation, but from proportions, sections, and the form that reveals where the volume ends.

Concrete and silver are the two main materials that work together in Merlon’s designs. Each piece is shaped by hand where form, surface, and line are balanced in the process. Concrete represents weight, surface, and structural presence, while silver functions as a linear element that defines, carries, or frames the form. These two materials come together as a whole without merging into one another.

Merlon’s design language is inspired by minimal and brutalist architecture. In each piece, the relationship between mass and void is carefully re-established. What begins and ends a form, what carries and what merely fills, becomes visible — not in the details, but in the whole. Merlon carries the trace of architecture in the silence of its lines. Founded by architect Gabriel Aras.
