It was more than 20 years ago that Gurhan first experienced the beauty of 24K gold. Captivated
by its depth, warmth & sensuality, he was inspired to build an entire brand around this precious
metal. With his usual passion and determination Gurhan studied the techniques of ancient
goldsmiths and then refined them into designs for the modern luxury consumer. Driven to offer
his clients superior quality, Gurhan established a factory in Turkey, personally training each of
his craftsmen himself. Both the 24K and the sterling silver collections are well known for one-
of-a-kind creations, all bearing the signature hand hammered finish that Gurhan refers to as his
fingerprint. Among the company’s many awards and achievements, perhaps the highlight was
when Gurhan was commissioned to create a an entire collection by the Metropolitan Museum of
art and National Geographic Society.
Gurhan and his wife and business partner Fiona are dedicated philanthropists. Giving back has always been a priority and twice a year the entire GURHAN team goes out into the community, volunteering to improve one of the many social issues facing New York and its residents. In 2015, more than 20 staff members visited with residents of the Henry Street Settlement, a not-for-profit social service agency, holding mock interviews and resume consultations to help develop employment skills. The company has also worked with a variety of other not-for-profits including The Door, whose mission is to empower young people to reach their potential by providing comprehensive youth development services
