Browsing through the colourful and vibrant merchandise being sold on market stalls during a trip to Turkey, Hannah Wallace was taken by the beauty and elegance of the country\u2019s exotic jewellery.<\/p>\n
The 25-year-old was inspired by the gold, turquoise and ruby adornments and decided to set up her own online store selling handmade Turkish jewellery to customers in the UK and worldwide.<\/p>\n
Mahlika Jewellery launched this month showcasing jewellery that is designed and made in Istanbul by skilled artisans.<\/p>\n
The ranges include necklaces, earrings, bracelets and rings made using pearl, turquoise, amethyst, coral and garnets.<\/p>\n
Mahlika \u2013 which means \u2018face as beautiful as the moon\u2019 in Turkish \u2013 have already received orders from the US, UK and Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n
Hannah, who runs the business from her home in Cheadle Hulme, said: “Women all over the world adore fashion, especially jewellery.<\/p>\n
“They love to wear clothes that reflect their style, and jewellery for the perfect finishing touches.<\/p>\n
“In the past, true style gurus would have had to travel the world to locate innovative and unique jewellery designs, but with the way the industry has evolved, products from<\/p>\n
anywhere in the world are easily accessible for anyone who wants them.”<\/p>\n
Hannah regularly goes on holiday to the Turkish town of Kas and says her passion for jewellery started at an early stage.<\/p>\n
“My mum was always wearing nice jewellery which I used to admire, and I\u2019ve always been a big fan,” she said.<\/p>\n
“Every time I\u2019ve visited Turkey, where my parents have a house, I\u2019ve picked up different pieces, and friends have always asked where I got them from.”<\/p>\n
Before launching her business, Hannah graduated from Leeds University in media and cultural studies then went<\/p>\n
travelling around Australasia and south-east Asia before returning to the UK last September.<\/p>\n
On her return, she decided to use her savings to establish her business and spent six months setting up her website and sourcing products.<\/p>\n
Now she is planning to learn how to design and make her own jewellery.<\/p>\n
She says her long-term aims are to open a shop and add jewellery from other countries.<\/p>\n
She said: “I love Indian designs and they are very similar to what I sell now.<\/p>\n
“It will definitely be an area I will be looking into.”<\/p>\n
