"In a small workshop in one of the big commercial buildings on the backstreets of Cemberlitas, a huge man with hundreds of years of history behind him is making rings which are appreciated not only for their gems, but also for the skill and labor that is put into making them. This man is Sevan Bicakci, the nutty lord of the pampered rings."

Celebrating the debut of his collection of rare limited editions and one-of-a-kind creations Sevan has found a home in the United States. Born and raised in Turkey, Sevan started his hobby of jewelry-making at the young age of 12. Working as an apprentice for many respected bench jewelers throughout his life, Sevan launched his own collection in Instanbul in 2003. Now, he is impressing consumers, retailers and designers alike with his collection of rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings.

Sevan's creations are fresh, profound and unique. Handcrafted from 24K, 18K yellow and rose gold, sterling silver, uniquely cut gemstones and rose cut or antique cut diamonds, the source of his inspiration comes from his upbringing in Turkey. He studies the local culture and arts in order to create jewelry that reflects the spirit of Istanbul in the Byzantine and Ottoman collections. His Fruits and Animals collections are playful and a joyous celebration of nature's many gifts.

Sevan uses precious and raw materials in the construction of his jewelry; he also likes to mix in other tpes of materials - like hand-painted icons, portraits and underlying crests.He is a genuine believer in a universal spirit and endless beauty.
