Jewellery shopping in Istanbul

    Milano Güzeliş

    When this family-run business started trading here in 1957, it was one of only 10 or so jewellery shops in the Grand Bazaar. The Güzelış family have been making jewellery to order using every gold grade and every conceivable gem ever since, and have built a trusted reputation in the process.

    Takıl Pera

    Full to the brim with the work of young Turkish jewellers, this store just off Tünel Sq offers tempting contemporary designs as well as more-traditional pieces. Musa Özer’s coin-and-stone pieces and Şenay Akın’s sleek silver creations are particularly tempting.

  3. Necef

    This is where to come for a gorgeous Byzantine-style piece of jewellery in gold or silver with semi-precious stones. The earrings and rings are particularly elegant and are very well priced when one considers their quality. It also sells antique pieces.

    Elacindoruk Nazanpak

    It may be small in size, but Elacindoruk Nazanpak is certainly well endowed when it comes to style. It showcases contemporary pieces in silver, gold, felt, paper and other materials created by Turkish and international designers.

    Sema Paksoy

    If your jewellery is more statement than investment, Sema Paksoy is your woman. Her chunky pieces crafted from antique silver and semiprecious stones are Ottoman-inspired and lovely. They're pricey but worth it.
