Founded in 2010 in London by Deniz Gurdal, Deniz begun Ottoman Hands humbly making jewellery in her bedroom and sold pieces on a market stall on Portobello Road. Each design is heavily influenced by Deniz’s Turkish heritage, therefore as demand for Ottoman Hands jewellery grew, Deniz discovered a small independent workshop in Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar that could help bring her designs to life on a larger scale.

Ottoman Hands was inspired by the hands of the artisans that help create the unique jewellery. Today Ottoman Hands continue to work with the same artisans to create handmade, sustainable jewellery, inspired by antique designs blended with a contemporary twist.
