So when I discovered Ottoman Hands, an artisanal British brand that specialises in handcrafted, gold-plated jewellery set with semi-precious gems, I was instantly hooked. Their designs are rich with reference, whether they draw from Greek mythology, pay homage to the brand’s Turkish heritage or honour other traditional crafts, like their Afghan-inspired collaboration with Turquoise Mountain, handmade in Kabul. Here you’ll find pendants to rival Chloé’s, intricately engraved coin earrings, delicate beaded necklaces and statement rings set with mother of pearl or lapis. Best of all, prices range from just £19 to £175.
