___I have spent the last eight years learning the jewellery trade, after first qualifying as a Civil Engineer, following in the footsteps of my father. I had however always preferred people and communication, rather than projects and – having met my wife at University – I was pleased to subsequently learn the jewellery profession in her father’s long established and respected jewellery business.

___I was then very proud to be invited to open the only jewellery shop in the prestigious new Didim Marina and I have named my new business Defne Jewellery, after our beautiful daughter.

___I carry a small but distinctive range of products for both men and women. I try to cater for everything from a small inexpensive personal memento of your visit, through a range of gifts, to that special life occasion which only a precious piece of jewellery will mark.

___I have learned that in this business, trust is the cornerstone of everything and whether you are a boat owner, a tourist, a visitor or a local resident – whether you want stainless steel or diamond jewellery, or a distinctive gift - I would like you to have a pleasurable and memorable visit to Defne Jewellery.
