Turkey
Turkey is a global powerhouse in jewellery manufacturing, trading and design—especially in gold, silver and precious stones—with a rich tradition anchored in hubs like Istanbul. Its export-driven industry, supported by skilled craftsmanship and evolving government policies, offers valuable sourcing and supply-chain opportunities for UK retailers, gem dealers, and manufacturers. Jewellery Focus delivers trade-oriented coverage of Turkey’s relevance to the UK jewellery sector: from Istanbul’s premier biannual IJS trade show, export market analysis, regulatory shifts (e.g., easing on unprocessed gold and hallmarking standards), to interviews with leading Turkish brands and artisans. Our reporting equips UK trade professionals with insights on sourcing quality jewellery, navigating import logistics and tariffs, spotting design trends, and building robust cross‑border relationships with Turkish partners.
