“15 years ago, this was my biggest dream. I started by designing my own jewellery, bringing them to London, sharing them with friends and hoping they’d see what I saw. That was the beginning of Kismet by Milka.

What began as a dream is now a reality. And not just anywhere, on Bond Street, a place that symbolises prestige, heritage, artistry, and fearless visionaries. To stand here today, in the city where I took my first steps as a designer, isn’t just an achievement. It’s proof of what happens when challengers dare to believe.

Kismet by Milka has always been about breaking boundaries. Boundaries of design, craftsmanship, and creativity. From those first handcrafted designs to a brand recognized around the world, our journey has been shaped by passion and the belief that jewelry is more than adornment. It’s identity, strength, and self-expression.

Because this isn’t just a milestone. It’s the beginning of something even bigger,” said Milka Karaağaçlı İnce, the founder and designer behind the brand.
