Oriental hair fork

I love oriental influences on my pieces. It is like traveling to far and magical lands. Like in 1001 night tales or traveling with flying carpet. Turkey is a country east meet west. Although big cities are highly European and modern still you can find traditions and deep culture also very deep folk cultures. Sometimes these traditions are originated to Central Asia, Middle East or even Roman and Ancient Greek traditions. Here is a hair fork inspired by my inspirations in Turkey.

Turquoise hair fork hair comb

I have been experimenting with stones. I find them magical. When i was living in UK i use to buy Chrystal and stone books and go to the stone shops  to buy stones and speak with the sellers. Then in Turkey i have met experts who had studied stones in the University and travel around the world to search great stones. This stone is bought from expert shop. And the wood is a precious wood use for making jewelry. The story behind this product is just the universe. When ı look at gold leaves and black and blue i see the universe and our world. It is kind of inspired from medieval maps or magical lost maps.

Gemstone hair fork hair combs and bangle

I have new inspirations this year. Wood combinations with gemstones and gold is a new adventure. The rose wood bangle i created has a moon stone on it. It is an amazing stone, shines different when light changes. And it is carved into the wood on a bed of gold leaf. It gives a very chic elegance.
