The Story of Handan Kocagil Jewelry

Welcome to Handan Kocagil Jewelry!

Jewelry is not just an accessory; it is a reflection of identity, history, and art. My journey into jewelry design began long before I realized it would become the passion of my life.

As a child, I had a great interest in craftsmanship and creativity. I would spend hours sewing tiny clothes for my dolls, building miniature houses out of matchsticks, and immersing myself in every project that required imagination and fine craftsmanship. This love for handmade work grew with me over the years and eventually led me to jewelry design.

Before fully stepping into jewelry design, I studied Food Engineering. This education provided me with a strong foundation in engineering principles. My technical approach to material knowledge, precision craftsmanship, and structural integrity has significantly influenced my designs.

In 2010, I decided to turn my passion into a profession. I trained alongside the most talented jewelry masters and honed my craft under their guidance. I received education from internationally renowned institutions in diamonds and natural precious stones. The design program I completed at the Rhode Island School of Design helped me blend artistic vision with technical expertise.

Today, I design handcrafted jewelry in silver and gold, adorned with traditional ethnic motifs. I draw inspiration from cultural heritage, the elegance of nature, and timeless motifs that have transcended generations. Every design is meticulously crafted from the first sketch to the final polish, brought to life with my dedication to quality.

My goal is to create jewelry that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also carries meaning, tells a story, and retains its value for generations. I hope that each piece in my collection adds a special significance to its wearer and brings them happiness.

Thank you for visiting my website and for being part of this journey. My greatest wish is that you feel the same excitement and love that I experience while designing my jewelry!
