Ottoman Hands

Ottoman Hands was founded in London in 2010 by Deniz Gurdal. 

Inspired by her Turkish heritage, she started designing jewellery in her bedroom and selling them at a market stall on Portobello road. As demand grew, she soon discovered a small independent workshop in Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar that could help bring her designs to life. 

Ottoman Hands was inspired by the hands of the artisans that create our unique jewellery. We still work with the same artisans to this day to create handmade, sustainable jewellery, inspired by antique designs with a contemporary twist.
