PIKAYA JEWELLERY | LONDON, ENGLAND

Pinar Kaya De Biasio designs and makes handmade contemporary jewellery from her studio in central London. Coming from a family where almost all of the men are traditional jewellers,  who considered this occupation as “man's job”, she challenges that belief through her jewelry design. After she received her degree and masters in psychology, Pinar decides to go back to her roots and explore her family passion of jewellery making.

Pinar is determined to build a conscious brand which she is proud of and thinks t in today’s world it is possible to produce fine jewellery while being environmentally conscious. Pinar is focused on reducing the carbon footprint by producing small batches of jewellery, through the usage of recycled materials and packaging  by cooperating with small family businesses whenever she needs to outsource, such as gold plating. Pinar is a proud advocate for slow fashion movement and aiming to design and produce timeless, high quality pieces which will stay for generations in the family and become their new modern heirlooms.

Her jewellery works started at Kensington and Chelsea College in London and her first collection "Positano", made it is launch at Fuorisalone-Milan Design Week.

She has a passion for metal work and simple geometric forms. Her pieces are characterized by clean lines and unique textures. She enjoys observing emotions of people around her and shapes them into jewels.
