24K Gold Fused Silver Carved Crane Mother of Pearl Diamond Statement Ring by Kurtulan of Istanbul, This ring is made-to-order.
An exquisite marriage of delicate hand-carving and rugged metalwork, this statement cocktail ring centers a luminous Mother of Pearl disk featuring a highly detailed, relief-carved crane motif. Hand-forged by the master artisans of Kurtulan Jewellery in Istanbul, Turkey, the iridescent focal piece is beautifully framed by an organic border of pure 24kt yellow gold molecularly fused over a heavy, deeply oxidized sterling silver band, illuminated by sparkling brilliant-cut side diamonds.
✦ DESIGN & MOTIF SYMBOLISM
The crane is a revered global icon of majesty, longevity, and peace. Symbolizing profound beauty, harmony, and fluid grace, the crane represents positive change and fresh beginnings, traditionally associated with the arrival of the New Year across various cultures.
Crane symbolism focuses deeply on the human need for balance and living in harmony with those around us, teaching the timeless wisdom that if we want respect, we must learn to give it first. Paired with the natural, shimmering iridescence of Mother of Pearl and framed by Kurtulan's ancient-world, high-relief metal texturing, this ring serves as a dramatic personal talisman for mutual respect, mindful balance, and enduring inner strength.
✦ COMPOSITION & SPECIFICATIONS
Because each piece is individually hand-forged by studio bench jewelers, exact precious metal weights naturally possess an organic variation from piece to piece.

✦ THE INNOVATION: PATENTED GOLDFUSING TECHNOLOGY
Unlike standard gold plating, electroplating, or vermeil—which thin, flake, or wear away over time—this piece features Kurtulan’s proprietary, patented Gold Fusing technology. Pioneered by master jeweler Ismet Naci Kurtulan, this mechanical and thermal bonding process applies a layer of pure 24kt yellow gold that is over 20 microns thick (more than 20 times thicker than high-end commercial plating). Because the high-carat gold is molecularly fused to the sterling silver core rather than chemically deposited, high-relief sculptural detailing and deep textures are beautifully preserved. Backed by the Kurtulan guarantee, the rich, unmistakable 24kt gold color will never fade or alter, offering a lifelong heirloom contrast of pure gold and dark, oxidized silver.
