At different times of the year I like different colors of clothings, jewelry etc. On these days my color is pink!
Yılın farklı zamanlarında nedense farklı renkler giymeyi, kullanmayı seviyorum. Bu sıralar pembenin bu tonuna vurgunum. Bu yüzüğü doğal yakutla yaptım ve çok hoşuma gitti. #rubyring #naturalrubyring #silver #solitairering #handmade #designerjewelry #serpilguneysu

 I have made this ring's shank etc. totally by hand from sterling silver sheets and wires.Photo show half way. Yüzüğü küçük tezgahımda gümüş plaka ve tellerden tamamen kendim yaptım. Taşın kenarlarda 3 er adet minik top var. Fotoğraf bazanın yarı tatmlanmış şeklini gösteriyor.

 It was also a gift for my Mom for mothers day! My Mom has choosen this pink natural ruby. But then I realized that it looks gorgeous and fits vey well with handmade silver. Aslında bu taşı annem seçti ama sonra bende çok sevdiğimi vegümüşlede çok yakıştığını farkettim.

I want to make more ring with this stlye and with different natural gemstones. Bu tarz yüzükleri yeni yeni deniyorum ama devamını getirebilmeyi ümid ediyorum.

COPPER - SMITH'S BAZAAR; SAFRANBOLU - BAKIRCILAR ÇARŞISI; SAFRANBOLU

 

I love copper objects and using household goods from copper. Especially old objects from copper, which are shaped by hands, interest me. My Mommy also loves copper and She loves to collect copper objects and loves to visit copper smith's bazaars. I think I am similar to her and whenever I go to a city/town or even in Istanbul I try to find copper or black - smith's bazaar / shop and visit it. This year I have visited Safranbolu, approx.400km far away from Istanbul and  famous with old Turkish house's architecture,
And these photos that I share with you are taken from Safranbolu's copper - smith's bazaar.

When I make my jewelries I have been inspired from many things. For this silver & leather bracelet my inspiration was Turkish kilims. Real art keep it's value for centuries and I believe Turkish kilims and carpets are one of them. Kilims have got very original  abstract designs which has got special meanings about daily life of that age. Here are some of them!
Takılarımı yaparken farklı şeylerden esinlenebiliyorum. Gümüş ve deri kullanarak yaptığım bu bilezikte kilimlerden esinlenmiştim. Türk kilim motiflerinden esinlenerek yaptığım başka takılarımda vardı ama ne yazık ki elimde fotoğrafları yok! Kilimlerdeki sembollerin hemen hepsinin bir anlamı var. İlginç bulduğum bir kaç tanesini buraya ekledim.

Man figure

Yar yara küstü / Lovers are crossed

Taraklı hanım / Woman with comb

Kaplumbağa / tortoise

Karnıyarık / Symbol of pregnancy

Kıskanç dedikodu motifi!:) / Jealous gossip motif!:)

And I had inspired my silver leather bracelet from this motif.

INSPIRATIONS 1; RINGS ARE INSPIRED BY THE EYES - ESİNLENMELER - 1; GÖZLERDEN ESİNLENEN YÜZÜKLER

 

Sometimes when I make a jewelry I have been inspired by eyes. I start to make a ring then I see that it is similar to a look or a face that can not be described with words. These rings are some of them.

Yaptığım takıları bir kişinin bakışına veya yüz ifadesine benzettiğim çok oluyor. Burada bu takılarımdan bazı örnekler koydum.

Above; Some of my eye rings with mixed metal and different stones.

I call this ring as " third eye " . Here I had used an irregular freshwater pearl. I also make it with natural emerald gemstone.

This ring's name is " gözüm üstünde / my eye on you ". I set natural garnet gemstone inside a bezel then set it into a freshwater coin pearl.
