I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Moved to Cypress ,TX from Istanbul, Turkey just 6 months ago July 2024. The road is not always smooth, there can be bumbs or holes might come front of you. The most important thing is to BELIEVE yourself, belive what you want and believe what you are doing. New country, new people, new market, new demends, new learnings. All new but old me 🙂
As you know, we’re big fans of NATUREL JEWELRY LLC. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
I started to work at dads jewelry shop at Grand Bazaar, Istanbul when I was around 15 years old, both going to school and work during the weekends. A year later, dad said to learn the details of making jewelry I need to get trained and he send me to work for an well known crafter in Grand bazaar. For 2 years I was his apprentice and lissening, watching him carefully to learn each single detail of making jewelry. After 2 years I was cabaple of making custom jewelry. The stones I use on my jewelry are real stones not plastic, the models and designs are my own designs not a copy of an another artist. I am able to make any custom order from gold plated bronze materail.
Wecurrently do not have a physicall shop but we are selling from our own web page, ets as well as attending to markets on weekends.
One of our 2025 plan is to open an kiosk an we already started to search for the mall .
