LAST WORD

    The aim of my work is to create unique jewelery for today's women.
Although,my major inspiron came from the magnificently rich
Cultural Heritage of Turkiye.

    I am deeply grateful to all my colleagues in the workshop and the
store,who have given so generously an unsparingly of their time
in order for me to create these Collections.

    I would,also,like to express my appreciation of line work of
Mahmut GUNES,who has photographed all the jewelery,using great
patience and imagination to capture the intricate and elusive detail
of these tiny objects.

    For the first time,during this Studio work.I, also had a pleasant
experience to work with my wife Ebru BALKAN,who has shown a
great success of elegant and professional modelling effort.

    My final thanks now go to My Father,Ozcan BALKAN,who has
taugh me almost everything I know about jewelry.
