The Turkish jewelry industry has fused its 5,000-year history of jewelry making with its exquisite designs and wide product lines to become the second largest jewelry exporter in the world. Production facilities in Turkey hold most of the world’s largest design teams specializing in gold and silver jewelry.
With its elegant designs and distinguished branding, the Turkish jewelry industry has established itself as a hub serving the Mediterranean, Southeast Asia, Russia, Middle East, the Black Sea region and Central Asia. Turkey has the ability to produce 400 tons of gold and 200 tons of silver annually and is among the top five countries in the world for jewelry manufacturing.
Along with the high production capabilities of the industry, Turkish jewelry companies are trend-setters in jewelry design. The Turkish and Anatolian heritage combined with contemporary flare generate unique models sought after by international buyers. Over 5,000 small and medium sized agile production units use the latest technology to release 10 new models every day. Taking into consideration the variations of these models, around 70 to 80 new products can roll out daily. This high level of production flexibility allows companies to cater to the design demands of importers while delivering innovative, high-quality jewelry. The sector currently exports to 136 countries with the U.S., U.A.E., Israel, Germany and Italy being its major customers.
