Rings and stuff...

This bridal necklace is currently available at our Rubylane shop. You wouldn’t guess, but it took Estella the best part of three days to get it to hang ‘just right’. Definitely OOAK, thus.




Once in a while we explore other roads, besides jewelry making, like making bags, belts, boxes…so, once in a while you will see other things in our Etsy shop. Here are some of our bags hanging companionably together in our workshop.


Sevan Bıçakçı has won this year, again, the American Town & Country jewelry price with one of his rings. He is the darling of the Turkish society and people queue for the privilege to buy one of his creations. And that is not because of his personal charms…the man is ugly as a toad, with fingers as sausages, and if the interviews that he gives are anything to go by, he is also rude and arrogant.
But his work…ah…that is something else entirely. He makes mostly rings, and although some can be found quite ostentatious, the quality of the work is irrefutable, with months of the most exquisite craftsmanship put in every one of his designs. Here some examples…

Don’t get too excited, though. You can buy a very good car for the price of one of his rings…not exactly Etsy material, thus.
Very much Etsy material are our rings, though. Also very crafty, funny and available for the humble mortal like you and I…
