Luxury Turkish jewelry designer Pinar Oner launched her flagship boutique, Pinar Oner Design Atelier in Istanbul’s chic neighborhood of Nisantasi, Istanbul, Turkey. Warmed by back-lit Brazilian agate walls, the clean lines of the display cases are the perfect backdrop for Oner’s contemporary, unique designs, rich with the vibrant culture of her homeland.
“Although a young designer, Pinar has already built a following among private collectors in Istanbul and beyond,” states Zeynep Birsel, director of Business Development for Pinar Oner Design Atelier. “This boutique will allow Pinar to showcase her many one-of-a-kind jewels and meet collectors who share her passion for fine jewelry artistry.”
A trained graphic designer with a BA from Bilkent University in Turkey and further education from the Parsons The New School of Design in New York, Pinar Oner is influenced by the history and heritage of the Anatolian region of Turkey. She draws inspiration from the folklore, artifacts and diverse religious influences of the area to create unique and fresh design elements and stylistic motifs. Creating her jewels in high karat gold, her collections glow with vibrant colors of gemstones and intricate enameling accent work.
