Hello, I am Öznur Kantarcı. JEWELRY DESIGNER.

The design adventure that started with necklaces, rings and earrings that I made myself when I was a little girl turned into my profession over time.

After graduating from university, I settled in Istanbul in 2001 and started working in the jewelry industry. I learned how a piece of jewelry is produced step by step in the workshops, which are the kitchen of the business. I have personally experienced how much effort, patience and attention it takes to shape gold or silver like a sculptor with a file, and to scrape the nails on which the stones will be attached, loop by loop, like a muralist. While I was polishing my product in the polishing section, I saw how my hands turned coal black with the polishing material. It has been a great privilege for me to learn the cuisine of my profession in such depth from the masters who are always by my side. Because a designer's work knowing which stages the design goes through is an important factor that determines the quality of the design. 

As someone who is open to new ideas and fond of independence, I have always felt that designing jewelry liberates me. My freedom has been the power that feeds my dreams and my dreams feeds my designs. I believe that the jewelry I designed with this motivation will set you free. 

Combining my first day's passion and my experience of more than twenty years in each of them, turning the designs I produce into jewelry with your preference, and the fact that a work on paper becomes visible and palpable with your liking gives me a unique professional pleasure and happiness. I have experienced this happiness many times over the past twenty years. I hope that I will continue to live with the appreciation of you, my valued customers.

"JEWELRY DESIGN WAS THE POWER THAT FEEDED ME."
