HERITAGE

Sister-owned. Turkish-rooted. Handcrafted in New Jersey.

True Ascend is the story of two sisters — Bilana and Diypse — born to a family from Türkiye and raised in New Jersey. Growing up, we spent our summers back home, learning the craft from artisans who have shaped jewelry by hand for generations. That heritage, and the women who taught us, lives in everything we make.

Our story

True Ascend began in 2021 as a passion project between the two of us. What started at our kitchen table grew into a traveling charm bar that popped up across the tri-state area — and today it lives in our flagship studio in Downtown Ridgewood, where you can build your own piece in person.

What we believe

To us, jewelry is more than an accessory. It’s a reflection of who you are and the moments you carry with you. Every piece is handcrafted with intention to celebrate the women who wear it, and made to become part of your own story.

Made to be lived in

Our charms, pearls, and gold-finished pieces are crafted in small batches to be water-resistant and tarnish-proof — designed to layer, mix, and wear every day. Beautiful enough for the occasion, durable enough for real life.

Build something that’s yours

At the heart of True Ascend is the charm bar: choose your chain, add the charms that mean something to you, and arrange them your way. Every finished piece carries a little of where we come from — and a lot of who you are.

With love,
Bilana & Diypse
