Gurhan
International jewelry designer Gurhan is renowned for pioneering the revival of pure 24 karat gold jewelry. Inspired by the techniques of ancient goldsmiths, Gurhan’s extraordinary designs are high fashion yet timeless and distinctive.
A latecomer to the world of jewelry design, Gurhan discovered the splendor of pure 24 karat gold at the age of 40 through a chance encounter with a sheet of gold.
Captivated by the beauty and challenge of the metal in its purest form, Gurhan began researching and learning the techniques of the earliest goldsmiths. Studying their example he undertook a passion to perpetuate and perfect the legacy of these craftsmen through his own distinctive designs.
Gurhan’s early creations drew support from the discerning collectors of Istanbul and travelers to Turkey. An early admirer included an Australian vacationing from New York. Her love for his jewelry led her to him and a legendary romance and partnership ensued. They now share the business based between New York and Turkey, Fiona serving as President and Gurhan as Designer and technical head.
In just 10 years, the business has developed from a small workbench in Istanbul to a global brand worn by prominent celebrities and sold in leading international retailers.
A major player in the luxury market, the brand remains true to its roots as Gurhan continues to design all collections. Each piece is hand-crafted in Gurhan’s workshop, with no outsourcing of any aspect, by apprentices trained by Gurhan to ensure the integrity and workmanship of each piece.
