Along many international and local brands of jewellery, artistic jewellery brands from Turkey are attracting visitors at Doha Jewellery and Watches Exhibition (DJWE).
The visitors who are looking for unusual jewellery designs find some unique, eye-catching pieces of jewellery at the pavilion of Turkey which is hosting around a dozen stalls.
One of the Turkish brands, Robi Diamond, has introduced some highly exciting and truly exclusive designs. Some of these pieces are unique and have left visitors highly impressed by their artistic value.
The jewellery pieces displayed at Robi Diamond booth are well crafted and sophisticated, and boast of the highest precision levels. Some of them are attracting the attention of the visitors purely for their design.
Speaking to The Peninsula, Gurkan Ozhanoglu, owner and designer of the Robi Diamond, said: “I am super excited. It is my second visit to Qatar and the huge response which I am receiving is overwhelming. I have created two exclusive designs.”
He is impressed with nature and it reflects in his designs. Showing a gold necklace with many flowers and tiny sparrows painted in different colours, he said that it was the only piece in the world. “We have brought this piece specially to Qatar for this exhibition.”
“I am inspired from nature forms. Flower Bird Collection is my latest one. It is a mix of semi-precious gemstones like turquoise, yellow citrine, moonstone, mother of pearls, amethyst and coral as well as enamel. It is a beautiful aesthetic collection.”
A Turkish brand, Amber Alex, is also there with highly-valuable amber prayer beads. Aleksas Mazukna, director of the company, said: “We are producing amber for more than 20 years. The main supply of high-quality amber comes from the Baltic countries in Northern Europe.”
