COFFEE LOVERS Ring

Coffee…
For me, it has never been just a drink. It’s a ritual, a curiosity, a moment of sharing, and sometimes a quiet companion.
I am definitely a morning coffee person. I choose my coffee according to my mood that day. Preparing my coffee and selecting my cup with care helps me ease into the day with joy.
And of course, the aroma of coffee... sometimes it takes me back in time, sometimes it leads me into gentle daydreams.
If I have the time, I open my notebook in the morning and write a few words, always with a cup of coffee by my side.
Taking a coffee break in the middle of the day has been a ritual I’ve never given up.
But most importantly, coffee is a companion in meaningful conversations.
As we say in this part of the world:
“The heart desires neither coffee nor coffeehouse, the heart desires conversation; coffee is just the excuse.”
Such a beautiful saying, isn’t it?

In 2015, I wanted to carry this passion with me, right on my finger. That’s how the Coffee Lovers ring was born.

A tiny porcelain plate and a silver cup plated in gold...
The porcelain plate was specially crafted for me by the late Kemal Beygo. I modeled the silver cup and the ring setting digitally and brought them to life with my own hands.
Every detail symbolizes the timelessness of coffee rituals and memories.
They say great dreams hide in small details. This ring is exactly that for me.
Yes, it’s a bold piece in size, but it holds my coffee passion in the most special way.
And it’s a one-of-a-kind, a single unique piece.

Years later, this ring became part of a truly beautiful collection.
Nihal and Murat Bursa, a couple from Istanbul, have been passionately collecting coffee cups, coffee-related objects, and cultural artifacts for years.
Their magnificent collection will soon be brought to life as a coffee museum.
And the Coffee Lovers ring will be part of this inspiring journey.

Sometimes happiness hides in the smallest of details. I’m grateful for that.

For me, this ring is a small yet meaningful reflection of the place coffee holds in my life.

I look forward to seeing it in the museum soon.
And of course, meeting new coffee lovers along the way…

With love,
Özlem
