Handmade Silver Jewellery by Generational Artisans

Growing up in Istanbul to parents who are craftspeople, I was surrounded by artisans and skilled workers who had their craft passed down for generations.

Now I have the opportunity to share their art with you. My mission is to help support these artisans and keep their art alive so that they can pass it on to future generations.

Each piece is handcrafted using 925 Silver and coated in Rhodium. This protective barrier is hypoallergenic and ensures that each piece will be durable and can be enjoyed every day.

Thank you for visiting.

Locally Made Jewellery by Duygu

Since I was a teenager, whenever I looked at gemstone jewellery, I thought to myself “I wonder how I could make that”. I loved seeing how the different stones and colours went together and how other types of metals complimented the stones.

Since I started Kedi Silver, I saw the opportunity to make my dream a reality. All of the jewellery is handmade by me (with a little help from my partner Jonathan) and uses semi-precious stones and hypoallergenic metals imported from the stone store I have been going to since I was a teenager.

I hope you see something you like. I can also make custom-made jewellery. If you have an idea and would like me to make it for you, please email me at contact@kedisilver.com I could take your existing jewellery or broken jewellery and use it make something new.

Our Story

Duygu and Jonathan met at a New Year’s Eve party in China in 2012/13 and have been exploring the world together ever since.

Duygu (Dwee-Gu) grew up in Istanbul and has always loved arts, crafts and cats. While living abroad, Duygu saw how many skilled and talented craftspeople there are but also noticed that many of them are getting older and not passing on their craft. She believes that this type of artistic work should be preserved and started this company to support skilled artisans in Turkey. She now lives in Delta, BC with her partner Jonathan.

Jonathan grew up in Delta and lived in China and Turkey for 10 years after becoming a teacher. He loves travelling, music, reading and animals. Jonathan helps Duygu by taking photos and writing the content for this website and Kedi Silver social media. He considers Istanbul his second home.
