Born in 1996 in Istanbul, Ece Benay Erişen transformed her childhood passion for art, particularly painting and music, into a lifelong dedication to jewelry design. At the core of her artistic journey lies the timeless elegance of jewelry, where storytelling and grace intertwine. Ece views jewelry design not merely as a form of artistic expression but as a medium for creating lasting memories and deep emotional connections.
This passion led her to pursue a bachelor's degree in Jewelry Design at Altınbaş University, where she also completed a minor in Fashion Design. Driven by a desire for continuous self-improvement, she expanded her education into different fields, studying Window Display Design at Mimar Sinan University and receiving specialized training in jewelry design from the world-renowned designer Cosimo Vinci. Understanding that design extends beyond creation and into the realm of marketing, she completed a master’s degree in Strategic Brand Management at Marmara University. This provided her with opportunities to offer brand consultancy in the jewelry industry.
After gaining valuable experience at leading companies such as Altınbaş-Assos Diamond and Roberto Bravo, she established her own brand, Bensy Company, as a freelance jewelry designer. Under this brand, Ece continues to provide jewelry design and consultancy services both domestically and internationally. She has developed a unique design philosophy that combines traditional techniques with modern and technological approaches.
Ece Benay Erişen is committed to creating distinctive, functional designs that reflect the personalities and lifestyles of her clients through every gemstone and material she works with. Soon, she will also be sharing her insights on art, design, and fashion through articles on Habergold, connecting with readers who appreciate timeless elegance and creative vision.
