Rings of the Sultans

Living in Turkey is a whole different experience, in many ways, not all of them good. But in matters of artistic inspiration, with the rich culture and the gorgeous nature, we are in a bliss.

One thing leads easily and naturally to an other.
The urchins that we find at the sea shore remind us of tiny turbans, and to emphasize that, we designed and ordered new ring blanks, with a high bezel.

The resulting rings are truly ottoman in appearance and we think that may have pleased the sultans!

(Padishah Mustafa the Swarthy)





(Sultan Murat the 3rd)




(Sultan Suleyman the Magnificent)
