Originally from Turkey, Oytun has been living in the Gulf since 1981. She completed a Masters in Architecture before choosing to express her creativity through jewellery design and production. She fashions some of the most endearing and beautiful mixtures of tribal and modern jewellery. Her background of design and symmetry combined with a love for tradional Middle Eastern jewellery has resulted in a striking blend of ethnic yet avante garde designs with a combination of sterling silver, silver plated with 24 kt. gold and semi precious stones such as turquoise, lapis, cornelian, hematite and coral.
