With his usual passion and determination Gurhan studied the techniques of ancient goldsmiths and then refined them into designs for today’s woman. In fact, Gurhan is widely recognized for pioneering the revival of 24K gold and reintroducing it into the modern fine jewelry market.

Devoted to his design, Gurhan continues to oversee the company’s factory workshop in Istanbul where each artisan is chosen and individually trained by Gurhan himself.
