Gold is one of the most extraordinary natural substances on the planet, and has been adored and coveted by people for millenia. As one of the oldest and most enduring elements of jewelry design, gold has a unique vibrance which is both captivating and inspiring. From gilded architecture and furniture to ancient jewelry craft, the natural radiance of gold has long been a symbol for power, wealth and beauty.
However, pure (24k) gold is a relatively soft and maleable metal, and it's use in modern jewelry design has been extremely limited. By mixing gold with other metals such as silver, copper and nickel, stronger alloys of gold can be achieved, namely 14k and 18k, which are the standard most employed today. Unfortunately, these alloys do not display the same natural radiance which makes pure gold so extraordinary.
Gurhan Orhan has taken it upon himself to reintroduce the world to the stunning natural beauty of pure 24k gold. With his striking jewelry designs, he suggests that 24k gold jewelry is not only alluring, but also practical in a modern context. Employing ancient tools and metal working techniques, Gurhan is able to craft durable jewelry designs which feature unparalleled elegance and class.
Incorporating diverse elements such as antique cameos and scarabs, and rough cut diamonds and gemstones, Gurhan's designs accentuate the natural beauty of pure 24k gold. In this way, these designs achieve an aesthetic that harkens back to the rich history of gold jewelry while providing a modern touch of class and fashion.
