BRACELETS

Women’s Bracelets

Bracelets are often overlooked but very impactful pieces of jewelry....

While most other pieces have to be used on their own, bracelets can also be layered to create stunning visuals to supplement or contrast your looks. However, finding the right bracelet might be hard, especially if you want unique pieces.

At Tohum, we get our inspiration from nature, humans, culture, and communities. By combining natural materials with the expertise of our gold artisans, we create stunning pieces of jewelry that have substance.

Handmade Bracelets

All Tohum’s jewelry is handmade by legendary gold artisans of Istanbul. Our artisans are trained by hundreds of years of unbroken experience.

They pour all their emotions and knowledge into the making of our pieces. Because each piece of jewelry including bracelets are handmade, each piece is one-of-a-kind.

Bracelets by Gold Artizans

At Tohum, we use 24K gold or 925K silver-plated brass to make our jewelry. We aim for sustainability and responsibly-sourced materials are a big part of who we are. We don’t use gold by choice. However, our finest artisans honed their craft in gold. They put each intricate detail in by hand and create unique masterpieces.

Bracelets by Natural Materials

Tohum loves nature and wants to deepen the connections of the modern human to mother nature. By using beautifully imperfect natural materials for our bracelets, we aim to tell the world what is natural is beautiful. We use wood, stones, crystals, seashells, and metals to turn these materials into breathtaking jewelry inspired by the people and their connection to the nature around them.

Natural Stone

Locally sourced natural stones like marble, jasper, obsidian, and sodalite are very important to our jewelry. Using these stones, we support the local communities and help carry these old Turkish traditions to the new generations.

Natural Shell

Seashells are beautiful and full of mysteries. The choice of using shells in our jewelries comes from our surroundings and life itself. As all life comes from the sea, its treasures should be worn to celebrate it.

Wood Beads

Wood beads have been used to make jewelry since the dawn of time. However, in the past centuries wood lost its place to shinier metals and minerals. We use wooden beads that are beautifully imperfect to highlight the beauties of nature in exquisite jewelry.

Blown Glass

Glassmaking, especially blown glass, is a very important Turkish tradition. We use blown glass beads and blown glass evil eye beads in our bracelets. The evil eye symbol is believed to keep the evil gazes at bay and keep you safe. We use these charms extensively in our jewelry.

Quartz Crystal

The centerpiece of our Lumia, quartz crystals were among the earliest talismans known to humans. People throughout history used quartz for protection against all negative energy and amplifying their creativity. Each crystal focuses and dissipates light differently. Creating a visual that’s unique to each piece of jewelry.

RINGS

Rings for Women

From subtle additions to bold statement pieces, rings have the perfect impact on making an outfit shine....

At Tohum, we get inspired by nature, humans, culture, and communities. By combining overlooked natural materials with the expertise of our gold artisans, we create stunning pieces of jewelry that have sophisticated designs.

Tohum’s rings are handmade, just like all of our pieces. Crafted by experienced gold artisans of Istanbul. Our artisans are trained by hundreds of years of collective knowledge and hone their crafts in gold for decades.

Rings by Natural Materials

Tohum wants to deepen the connections between modern humans and nature. A bond sadly severed by our busy life. Tohum aims to highlight the beauties of nature in jewelry. By using exquisite natural materials we tell the world that what is natural is also beautiful. We use wood beads, natural stones, and crystals in our jewelry. Our artisans process these materials into showstopping jewelry inspired by nature, culture, and people’s connection to the world around them.

Natural Stone

Stones like turquoise, Jaspar, and marble are used in jewelry making for hundreds of years. Tohum’s interpretation of stone working is using these stones to create stunning rings.

Tohum Evil Eye

The evil eye is a curse that’s mentioned in all beliefs and holy books of human history. ...

It is believed that the eyes are the windows to the soul and are the most important parts of the human body. The curse is believed to be caused by the evil glares and malevolent gazes.

In Mediterranean and Middle Eastern culture, the evil eye is believed to be one of the most powerful curses. It is believed that it can perish small animals and children. An evil eye charm or pendant is used for protection against this curse. That’s the reason why the first piece of jewelry of every child has an evil eye pendant in those cultures.

Nowadays, the evil eye necklaces are worn by people who need a little more protection from the envy gazes of others. However, it is also a reminder to never be envious of other people’s success, as we can, in fact, give the evil eye without knowing.
