Sevan Bicakci

A cult jeweler, Sevan Bicakci is known for his outrageously ornate rings. Some are gem-encrusted animals; others feature globe-like stones surrounded by whimsical design flourishes or large stones with engravings. All are distinctive and marked by intricate craftsmanship. He has been called Turkey’s version of Joel Rosenthal and won numerous international awards for his innovative styles. His pieces are carried at shops around the world, but in Istanbul, you can visit him at his atelier or see his work in his boutiques. The most popular outpost is at the Grand Bazaar though his stores can also be found in Galataport and the Zorlu Center.
