I absolutely love Seyahan! I actually haven't been able to visit the shop in Charleston in person, but I have a long history of loving their beautiful, finely-selected Turkish jewelry. I discovered Seyahan in Berlin 4 years ago and was so impressed by how delicate and intricate everything was. At the time I was a student and was also amazed at the reasonable prices for the high-quality pieces that were obviously handcrafted with so much attention to detail.
When they stopped selling their pieces at the market where I had found them in Berlin, I was heartbroken -- then on a New York trip, to my great surprise, I ran into Matthias at Chelsea Market, we reconnected and I learned they had moved to Charleston! Such a lucky coincidence, because I love their beautiful jewelry, exquisite taste, and they are really so wonderfully kind and helpful to everyone they meet as well. I'll always have a really special connection to Seyahan -- such a great combination of beautiful design, amazing quality, commitment to the craft, and such a caring relationship with their customers and the community :)...

My partner and I both bought several pieces, for ourselves and as gifts, and spent some time getting to know Matthias and two other guests over coffee. A frustrating morning was completely turned around by Matthias, his generosity, and his beautiful...
Read moreI've walked by the storefront so many times and admired the pieces in their window. A friend recently shared the Charleston Love Bracelet on instagram and I ordered two (one for my mom and one for myself). The bracelets were delivered by mail quickly and we love them. I especially appreciate the sizing options (we both have small wrists) and they fit perfectly. I haven't taken mine off since receiving it. I recently placed another order for a necklace and picked it up today. It is exactly the everyday piece I needed and the perfect length. The customer service is impeccable. Matthias, one of the owners is very prompt in responding to emails. I have to give a special shout-out to Emily who coordinated an in-store pick up with me during COVID-19. I cannot wait to visit the shop again and purchase...
