I BUY MYSELF FLOWERS

Picture this, my flight just landed. I turn off the airplane mode from my phone and 'PIM' an Instagram notification pops on my screen.

Very weird. I don't have Instagram notifications enabled on my phone. Actually, I barely have any notification enable on my phone, but that's another story.

Anyway, I opened Instagram to check the message, and of course, one thing led to another, and this post showed up on my timeline:

My only thought was: I NEED THIS RING NOW!

I dropped a DM to Galeri Satim, and they quickly replied that the ring was available.

UHUUUUUU     

The ring was mine!!!!! 

I am just in love with this piece. Created by the artist Gülnur Özdaglar, it is made from recycled PET bottles. It's such a statement piece; everywhere I wear it, people are just... WOW, this is stunning. My reply is always, 'Yeah, I know.'

Needless to say, the ring became one of my favourite pieces, and I treasure it a lot.

Now, another very important part of this story is that I only found out about this ring because of my partnership with Galeri Santim, a YOU MUST FOLLOW contemporary jewellery gallery.

Seriously, this is one of the places I am most proud of having my pieces with. 

Leyla, the owner, is also an amazing jewellery artist. Under the name Toz Design, she experiments with non-traditional materials and techniques, and her pieces are displayed in museums and exhibitions around the world. I love her pieces made from leftovers of picture frames. 

Besides that, she has the most incredible talent for curating artists and pieces for Galeri Santim. 

It is so incredible to be amongst such talented people. I am very proud and happy of that.

I do recommend that you check their website and follow their Instagram account. I am sure you will love it.
