GeoArt’s newest collection, Topkapi Tile, pays homage to Turkish Artisanal Luxury

New York. A vibrant burst of color and style abounds in Cynthia Gale’s latest collection, Topkapi Tile, which features carnelian and iolite set in exquisite sterling silver jewelry. Evoking the stunning stylized tulips in Topkapi Palace, the renowned New York designer adds a creative twist.

Says Cynthia of her inspiration, “A recent visit to the magical city of Istanbul left me with an inspiring sense of the unique artwork of the Turkish people. The primary residence of the Ottoman Sultans for 400 years, Topkapi Palace took my breath away. Amidst the endless treasures housed in this magnificent museum, The Hall of the Ablution Fountain with its colorful array of traditional hand painted tiles captured my attention and resulted in the GeoArt by Cynthia Gale Topkapi Tile collection. The richly decorated tile work is translated into sterling silver and features soft, sculpted florals which gently curve over rich carnelian cabochons to create a collection of modern elegance.”

“Open work sterling earrings and pendants alongside statement pieces (see link bracelet) with carnelian and iolite bring the orange and blue from the tiles and transform them into stylishly wearable accessories. Silver mixed with colorful stones is a big trend for this season. Topkapi Tile offers a unique on-trend aesthetic that will have people asking, Where did you get that?” says Olga Gonzalez, Sales and Marketing Manager for GeoArt.

With over thirty styles to choose from, there is a price point and a look for everyone within the collection. Topkapi Tile is for the woman who wants to make a statement in color and has an appreciation for art and culture.
