It has already been 3-4 years that I pay attention to the creations of Sevan Bıçakçi, his jewelry pieces are very famous among Hollywood stars. If you are a fan of Julia Roberts or Lady Gaga you have definitely noticed their amazing accessories created by Sevan. Julia Roberts was wearing a handmade angel necklace by the designer on the cover of ELLE, which is one of six covers that were shot, styled, and printed in conjunction with the release of Roberts' new movie, Eat, Pray, Love. This year his masterpiece was worn on the Oscar ceremony by Whoopi Goldberg, this octopus ring interested many people involved in the fashion industry.
Sevan Bıçakçıis a famous Turkish jeweler of Armenian Descent. He is one the rare masters who is famous all over the world. He is known as the King of Rings. At the age of 12, his father, who was a theater actor, sent Sevan Hovsep Catakto learn a jewelry craftsmanship in the Grand Bazaar of Istanbul. After serving 4 years of apprenticeship, his master died. However, he had learned a lot about jewelry design and craftsmanship. Then he started to work as a freelance-jewel designer. He worked on his first collection for a year before introducing to the global market in 2002. He mostly use in his designs the Byzantine and Ottoman style ornaments. With each creation Bıçakçı has higher expectations and standards for his work. Each piece needs countless hours of carving.
Today the artist has an international list of customers who collect his work and wait for the latest creations.
