About Me:: Hi everybody:) I'm a jewelry artist. I live in Istanbul/Turkey. I have a son. He is 15 years old. I have a cat and husband also:) I will very nice to meet all of you.
Living in Anatolia which is a great combination of culture, thousands-of-year-teachings and nature, makes all of my works unique and distinguished from the average. You may get lost in the cultural attraction of Istanbul while fooling around the city, you might open your eyes in the bedroom of a sultan or in a modern arts exhibition, which inspires you deeply, penetrating to your dreams and imagination. You may get dizzy while enjoying the maiden towers 360 degrees view or while gazing the dancing ‘alevi’ and ‘mevlevi’. Just like being on a boat crossing two continents, I am creating my works by the artistic tides and techniques from the East and West. My works have been produced by traditional goldsmithing and silversmithing techniques.
My jewellery is made using a variety of techniques, including sawpiercing, stone setting, casting and more. I use silver (925), oxidezed silver (925), gold (750), gemstone, frehwater pearl and evil eye glass bead in my jewelries. As accessorize, I use leather, silk, wash leather, and satin. The earrings’ hooks are hand-made.

Hello and welcome to my page,

My childhood memories are colored with the beauty of Northern and Southern coasts of Anatolia, thanks to origins of my parents. During my studies of Law in Istanbul, the Grand Bazaar was next to the University and I do love spending time there since then. There were times which I was struck by the amazing atmosphere of the Bazaar and spend my whole evening looking around. My hobbies have always been about arts during my 18 years of lawyer career- from wood…
