Exclusively at The Jewellery Gallery @ Carrington's The Ottoman Range designed in Milan, made in Istanbul, the range appeals most to women looking for unique and original Gallery type jewellery. Enjoy the deep mystique ambience of the Ottoman range. Ottoman jewellery is inspired by one of the greatest civilizations in world history the Ottoman Empire (1299-1922),. The lifestyle of the Ottoman Empire was a mixture of western and eastern life. A mosaic of cultures, its richness is reflected in the culture and art. Ottoman jewellery was and is designed using natural motifs yet continues to be reflective of prevailing tastes. This Necklace can be worn long or wrapped as a choker it is one of my personal favorites the necklace looks amazing on, it draws attention to the wearer and so comfortable you will wear it everyday, it is a very unique piece. The ottoman range is not silver but made from metal alloys, which means it has neither the weight nor cost of the sterling silver range, but every bit as amazing!
