About Us

Established in Belgium in 2019, iriss (ˈaɪrɪs) is inspired by its namesake,
the Greek goddess of the rainbow, a symbol of color and elegance.

Each iriss piece is meticulously crafted at our studio and at our Antwerp
atelier, where we work exclusively with 14 karat solid gold and 925 sterling silver,
precious and semi-precious gemstones to craft every day heirloom jewellery
that celebrates individuality and artistry.

At the heart of iriss is Elif, our founder who is trained in classical metalsmith techniques
in Florence, Italy. Her passion for antique jewellery — especially from the Byzantine
era combined with Florentine style and her hometown of Istanbul
that was once home to many civilizations —
shapes her designs which blends traditional with modernity.

Every iriss piece is handmade to order, reflecting our commitment to mindful
production practices and thoughtful design.

Welcome to iriss—where every day heirloom jewellery is handcrafted
to be cherished forever.
