Magnolias Of Istanbul Earrings Illuminations Edition

The Magnolias of Istanbul earrings - Illuminations Edition comes in two variations. Pay heed to the elaborate patterns of the flowers, for you'll be amazed by their delicacy. Burcu Sulek's collaboration with miniature artist Onur Hasturk has created the most intricate design for handmade jewelry. Paying respects to the highest art form of the Ottoman Empire, these pieces are as unique as the art itself. Handcrafted from upcycled, lightweight papier mache and 925k silver, the leaves vary in sizes as they do in nature. Their asymmetry also allows you to adjust your look to your liking. It should come as no surprise that this industrial designer’s favorite material for her contemporary jewelry line is synthetic sponges. Light as a feather with the artistic lines and malleability of sculpture, Burcu Sulek transforms this industrial material into a gemstone of sorts, shaping each piece by hand. Inspired by nature and everyday life, she also gracefully incorporates papier maché and other upcycled materials into her designs.
