| Art Profile |

After graduating from Middle East Technical University, Örge Tulga worked in the data processing field for seven years. Then she followed her real passion in life and made a brave career change by starting to learn about jewelry design techniques. She has always been attracted to jewelry design. Attending different courses on jewelry design for four years, Tulga experienced the spirit of Grand Bazaar in Istanbul which helped her to sharpen her style. Today she has created her own avant-garde jewelry collection: sophisticated and original. Inspired by history and art, her design style is a mix of contemporary, classic and eclectic. It incorporates soft curves, amorphous shapes and refined lines. Tulga has always designed collections using classic materials that she is inherently drawn to: silver, gold, diamonds and endless varieties of semi precious stones. She highly values elegance, simplicity and purity in her designs. As a result of her attitude towards life, her designs reflect balance and positive energy. All of her works are made by hand in her private workshop in Istanbul.
