Rafael Indiana | Jewelry as Sculpture


On Wednesday, June 25, 2025, Mnemosyne Club x Rafael Indiana will present an evening of conversation and craftsmanship, featuring Rafael Cemo Çetin, an Istanbul-based artisan and the visionary founder of Rafael Indiana. During the talk, Çetin will reflect on his journey as a designer and craftsman, sharing insights into the creative process behind his jewelry, which he meticulously produces in Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar. Having spent years honing his craft there, he has embraced the title of esnaf—a term signifying a local artisan deeply rooted in the traditions and community of their trade.
