Jewelry Designer Pinar Oner Dies
The Turkish designer, whose beautiful yellow gold and enamel designs paid homage to the architecture and culture of her homeland, died April 14 after a long battle with illness.
New York--Pinar Öner, whose beautiful yellow gold and enamel designs paid homage to the architecture and culture of her homeland, died peacefully at her home in Turkey on April 14 after a long battle with illness.
A native of Ankara, Turkey, Öner’s fascination with fine jewelry craftsmanship and design began when she was a young girl.
She studied graphic arts at university and took a course at the Parsons New School for Design in New York, which opened her eyes to the concept of incorporating the world around her into her jewelry designs.
She returned to Couture again in 2014 and was one of the designers who created pieces for the Csarite Designer Collection launched in 2014. (Csarite is the brand name given to the color-change diaspore mined in Turkey’s Anatolian mountains.)
Öner also was the subject of a September 2014 Gold Spotlight on NationalJeweler.com, showcasing her then-new Hagia Sophia collection, a line inspired by the mosque-turned-monument of the same name.
The younger designer’s “fresh, yet iconic, handcrafted jewelry designs reflected the cultural influences of her beloved Turkey,” Pat Syvrud, who helped launched Pinar Öner Design Atelier in the United States, said in a statement. “The luxury jewelry world has lost a true gem indeed.”
