Gürhan Orhan
Pioneering 24-karat gold designer jewelry, Turkish born Gurhan Orhan has introduced to the worlds of fine jewelry and fashion, the palette of warm, yellow, pure gold. Gurhan creates jewelry that becomes an intimate part of a woman’s diverse life, a link between designer and owner. Transcending time and trends, Gurhan makes the jewelry with the transformative power to make a woman feel more beautiful. An award-winning master goldsmith, his passion for pure gold is born out in his creative approach to the medium, personally designing every piece. In the painstaking process that brings the designer’s vision to life, it acquires a quality of warmth, an intricacy of detail and an individual personality that speaks to the woman who desires, purchases and wears it. Known in the industry by his first name, Gurhan started making jewelery about 15 years ago after he became entranced with the look and feel of a piece of pure gold. Now his jewelery priced from $500 to $50,000 is sold in the United States, where he lives since 1997, and is making inroads in Europe.>>
