"The main thing is to have a dream, Ahmed Pasha. A dream was born, you believed in it - and this gives you the strength to make it come true." (Sultan Suleyman I, Muhteşem Yüzyıl/Magnificent Century)

I recently made this beautiful bespoke red hotoz for a customer. She wanted it to match her Sultana inspired ren faire costume, and agreed on this stunning, unique design!

"I conquered half the world... But in the end, I take nothing with me" (Sultan Soliman the Magnificent)

One of my most loyal customers brought me this challenging piece inspired by Hürrem Sultan a few months ago. This mesmerising headpiece, fully constructed in hand-antiqued brass and copper, is for sure amongst the heaviest and most mysterious ones I've ever made!

I adore the shape, I feel it's both really flattering and striking. Especially the tiara part -I'll for sure revisit this idea for some other future design!

Many have also seen Odile the Black Swan hidden in these deep purple rhinestones, what character would you pair it with?

"When the time comes, my son should get on the throne, and I… I should become Valide Sultana." (Turhan Sultan, Magnificent Century/Muhteşem Yüzyıl series.)

Definitely my customers know what they want for their weddings. This bride contacted me to request a mix of Hürrem's epic crown and Turhan's last headpiece. The result is a one-of-a-kind headpiece that will definitely draw attention to her on her big day!!

Bespoke requests will be attended via message in my shop, where I also have lots of beautiful ooak, ready-made and made-to-order pieces.

"Where women are honored, the divinities are pleased. Where they are despised, it is useless to pray to God." Esmeralda, The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Victor Hugo)

This corset turned 5 years old already! It was a beautiful experiment I created during lockdown in plague times.

The cording was far from being the most tedious bits of the process. I decided to take myself beyond my confort zone and patterned this in the style of Edwardian corsets -which are, I believe, far more complex due to the amount of gores/gussets and sinous pieces.

Plus, the beautiful outer shell is floating, all the structure is hidden underneath.

Steel boned, suitable for tightlacing and still up for grabs here.

"Nobody can burn me, 'cause I'm the fire itself." Hürrem Sultan (Magnificent Century series)

I designed the Berta crown years ago and built it in gold with royal blue details, taking medieval European jewelry inspiration.

Recently, a customer approached me asking for it to feature ruby red crystals instead -and it gives a much more Eastern vibe. This person loves the Ottoman empire times, and Hürrem Sultan in particular. After watching the series, I cannot unsee her in this gold with red option.

Now, the Berta crown is a made-to-order piece to choose from ruby red or royal blue on golden frame. Emerald green will eventually be also available in the near future.

Which colour combo would you choose?

❤️ Red on gold

💙 Blue on gold

💚 Green on gold

"Is Rome worth one good man's life? We believed it once. Make us believe it again. He was a soldier of Rome. Honor him."

(Lucilla, Gladiator. 2000)

I launched the new *Artemis* capsule collection & I cannot believe the welcome it's received!! I wasn't expecting Ancient Greek & Roman vibes to be this popular.

This small collection is of limited edition pieces and is live on my Etsy shop!

"Why is it so dark?"

"In the beginning it is always dark."

(The Neverending story, 1984)

When Sara approached me to get her bridal headpiece designed and made, she wanted to be able to wear it after her big day. My solution for her was to transform it into a necklace by un-sewing it from the circlet frame.

Made of top-quality Preciosa crystal components on sterling silver bails and chains, this will be an evergreen piece of her jewelry from now on.

"My glance fell upon a beautiful flower; the universe turned around her." (Sultan Suleyman the Magnificent)

I believe I just opened a Pandora's box by revealing that I made a Hurrem crown for a customer. Now everybody on earth is requesting sultan crowns -lile this Berta with ruby red crystals, for instance.

This design has been listed on my shop in royal blue for a few years now. A customer saw mature Hurrem's iconic headpieces in this design I originally made inspired by medieval European crowns. And it's a vibe!

Coming back in stock at some point during spring.

Well... After years receiving hundreds of comments on my TikTok not requesting but *demanding* Hürrem's crown (as shown in the Turkish series Muhtesem Yuzyil -Magnificent Century)...

A customer came to me and actually commissioned a recreation 👑

"People once believed that when someone dies, a crow carries their soul to the land of the dead. But sometimes, something so bad happens that a terrible sadness is carried with it and the soul can't rest. Then sometimes, just sometimes, the crow can bring that soul back to put the wrong things right." The Crow (1994)

Shade is a product of light. And as such it has grades. This dyed natural quartz and crystal crown is a good example of how darkness can also come up with sparkles!

"They say if you dream a thing more than once, it's sure to come true." Aurora, Disney's Sleeping Beauty.

I made this blue velvet dress in 2023 thinking of elves. It took me quite some time to figure out how to embroider the neckline and sleeve cuffs -but the fact it ended up being first worn for a Sleeping Beauty themed shooting is just ❤️

I also made this medieval inspired crown. Learn more about the Ariadne crown here.
