 My name is F. Oya Borahan

My family

My profession and hobies

Beycik-Antalya

Our dogs

For many years, I  have painted portraits and scenery on silk. When I  became interested in jewelry-making and jewelry design, I  began by creating scarf clips for the silk scarves I  was painting. I  enjoyed making unique designs for the scarves so much that my art transposed into fabricating unique jewelry based on the designs and patterns of my scarves. Now,  my goal is to use the colorful flower designs of my scarves to cut, carve, and shape colorful gemstones as accessories for my scarves. 

I have Graduate Gemologist and Diamond Diplomas from the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) the German Gemmological Association (DGemG) and   Gemmological Association of Great Britain (GemA).
