BALON : This adjustable necklace’s whimsical sterling silver pods lie beautifully and gently against skin. Fasten the necklace at its center to form a lariat necklace or close it at the end link to create a more traditional style. From Kelim’s Balon collection, this handmade necklace measures 19-inches in length and closes with a lobster claw closure.
A free spirit who grew up in village of Akhisar, Turkey, Meral Sartekin always yearned to explore. The adventurous spirit inside her prevailed and she soon set out to study in Zurich, Switzerland. It was there that she married Halil and they launched Kelim. Together with their nephew, Gultekin, they also established an atelier in Istanbul, where a team of highly trained craftsmen bring each design to life in sterling silver.
