The Blue Hound Jewelry - creating objects shaped by memory, material and time.
Founded in New York City in 2009 by Joe Ieraci and Mahir Öncü Arslan, the brand emerged from lives lived across landscapes, culture and quiet obsessions. Raised near the Black Sea, Arslan was drawn early to talismans and symbols - objects believed to hold power, protection and meaning beyond what is seen. Years of travel deepened this pull, blurring the lines between religion, ritual and personal belief. Ieraci's path through the world of denim and indigo revealed something equally enduring: that wear, erosion and imperfection carry their own truth. From these two perspectives, a shared language took shape.
The Blue Hound draws from symbols, spiritual iconography, the natural world and fragments of forgotten cultures, translating them into jewelry that feels unearthed rather than created. Each piece carries the suggestion of a previous life - marked, weathered and quietly charged. Nothing is overworked, nothing too refined. The hand is always present. Time is allowed to leave its trace.
Sterling silver is cast, textured and aged by hand. Gold and bronze appear like relics from another era. Diamonds surface sparingly, never announced, never obvious - only where they feel necessary. The result is jewelry that resists perfection and invites interpretation, masculine yet fluid, grounded yet elusive.
To wear The Blue Hound is to carry an object with a past - and to add your own chapter to it. A reminder that metal remembers. That meaning need not be explained, only felt. There is a beauty in what time leaves behind.
