Elif Esra Kurşunlu, Architect and Lokman Kurşunlu, Engineer have
created KURSHUNI brand in 2002 in Istanbul with the intention of beautifying the
World through creativity, which they are passionately attached to. The brand’s name
KURSHUNI is inspirated by their family name.
The story of KURSHUNI has begun with the opening of Turkey’s first glass art
studio KURSHUNI. The brand has increased its awareness with National and
International awards and successful exhibitions over the years. In the beginning,
KURSHUNI Jewellery has been designed with precious metals and glass. As the
brand evolved over the years, KURSHUNI Jewellery has been designed using only
925 sterling silver mostly with “Execellence Star Cut” Cubic Zirconia stones and
along with turquoise, labradorite, black spinel and amethyst. Today, KURSHUNI is
the first and the only brand using 24K pure gold for yellow gold plating and 21K gold
for rose gold plating on 925 sterling silver jewellery. The brand has put its special
signature to its silver jewellery by adding its handcrafted mini glass eye amulets,
named KURSHUNI NAZAR.
In 2010, KURSHUNI Jewellery has been introduced to Europe by becoming a regular attandee to the most popular and prestigous jewellery fairs of the sector, which opened new hozizons to become a global brand. KURSHUNI Jewellery increased sales volume and brand awareness in Europe by means of modern designs, unique and high quality products, affordable prices, sales and after sales services, marketing and communication activities.
