DOORS OF DREAM

My jewelry designs that I call 'Gates of Imagination'; I used gold and silver metals, onyx stones and colored quartz. The collection products, which mainly consist of earrings and rings, were enriched with 4 different color options. I tried to use gold and silver metals together in a balanced way. I made the main molds of all the jewelry I designed myself. I completed the production process by collaborating with the jewelry masters around the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul. All the onyx and quartz stones in the collection were specially cut in the town of Idar Oberstein in Germany.

The ironic piece of this collection was the DREAM KEY. We completed the production of the dream key by laser cutting from brass material. And it was gold plated.

The poem written by Elif Aydoğdu Oral for Hayal Anahtar:

'Everyone had their own dream that they followed...

The road was long and difficult, some got tired along the way,

There were those who followed new dreams.

They were a handful of people who were following the same idea…

They were holding on stubbornly, and the more they held on, the bigger the dream got.'
