Sevan Bicakci is a name that sounds like a symbol of the fusion of East and West in the world of jewelry. The Turkish jeweler with Armenian roots became known for his ability to be inspired by the historical riches of his homeland and adapt them for jewelry.
The birth of his creativity occurred under the influence of the majestic landscapes and architectural masterpieces of Istanbul - the place where he grew up and found his creative calling.
Sevan Bicakci was not afraid of difficulties on the path to his calling: from the first steps in the workshop, where his father brought him, to the creation of his own business and the subsequent financial difficulties, which he overcame, again rising to the top.
However, it was his persistence and talent that led to the fact that in 2002 his first collection caused a huge success and attracted the attention of the world community. In 2009, he was awarded the Muslim Jameel Prize, established by the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
Bicakci creates unique images and patterns inside precious stones, which give his works a special depth and emotional richness. For example, a captured bird or dragonfly, a built castle, a planted tree may appear inside the stones.
Micromosaics and calligraphy are used in his works to subtly emphasize cultural and historical motifs. The overall perception of reality is blurred, but the emotion is clearly traced: moonlight, bottomless ocean, animal spirit, cave magic…
Each piece of Sevan Bicakci jewelry is a story personified in precious metals and precious stones. And he is not just a jeweler, but an artist whose works carry the harmony of cultures and time.
