Prayers and symbols

The Kemankesh tradition.

Kemankesh was the name given to archers in the Ottoman Empire. The zihgir is the ring archers wore on the thumb when drawing the bowstring, and over time it became an object of ornament and prestige. Sırlı Sepet carries this tradition into silver with the Kemankesh ring.

Ya Haqq

A supplication made with "Al-Haqq" (the Truth), one of the names of Allah. It is reported to have been invoked during the shot in traditional Turkish archery.

Double-headed eagle

A motif frequently seen in Anatolian Seljuk art, associated with sovereignty and power.

Ottoman tughra

A special mark shaped by the art of calligraphy, used by Ottoman sultans in place of a signature.

This product is a piece of jewelry with spiritual and cultural meaning; it is not a protective object. Prayers and symbols are merely a means; only Allah protects and heals.

Size

Fits every finger.

The Kemankesh is an open-form ring; you can adjust it to your finger by gently squeezing or loosening it.

Care

Your silver, like the first day.

925 sterling silver consists of 92.5% pure silver and alloy metals added for durability. As silver comes into contact with air, moisture and skin, it may oxidize and darken over time; this is a natural process and not a flaw.

01Keep awayRemove it when showering, swimming in the pool or the sea. Do not let it come into contact with perfume, cologne, lotion or detergent.
02CleanIf it darkens, gently clean it with a silver polishing cloth or with lukewarm water and a little soap, then dry thoroughly.
03StoreStore in a dry place in an airtight box or bag. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasives.

Frequently asked questions

What you may be wondering.

Is the ring real silver?

Yes. The product is 925 sterling silver; it contains 925 parts per thousand pure silver.

Does 925 sterling silver tarnish?
