So every since moving to Philadelphia, I have been wanting to stop into this store after peering at the beautifully decorated ornate items. I decided to finally go in and I am so happy I did. I think the best part was the service offered by its owners and manager, Koray and Abbe. From upon entering I was greeted with a very enthusiastic and animated hello, how are you, and can I get your opinion on this pin I'm creating by the owner. I am quite the art lover, as well as a fan of small businesses and handmade items so I happily obliged. It put such a smile on my face to be greeted so warmly. The best part was not jus the service but getting to take a look at the items of handmade jewelry they had available on display and in the glass cases. I specially was looking for a bracelet that had the blue evil eye on it (mine had fallen off me recently so I was in need of a new one). Koray was kind enough to offer me his which was beyond generous, but of course I knew I had to pay it forward and purchase one myself. I actually ended up getting three. I need all the spiritual protection I can get lol as we all do I think, but the evil eye is a Turkish item that is meant to protect you from and ward off negative energy. Now whether or not that is true is up for debate but it's awfully pretty when incorporated into a nice design and also I just like the meaning behind it. They had some available in different colors and others in the traditional blue dot and a red band. I went with this sterling silver chain that had the single evil eye in the middle and little rhinestones around it and then another with a silver chain and multiple blue evil eyes on it. You can tell I'm a fan of them right? Truly though visiting that store made my day. I wanted to get a photo with Abbe and Koray but my storage on my phone was full so I couldn't. I will definitely be back. It's not often you meet kind individuals with a zest and passion and fervor for life like they do. They demonstrated kindness to me (not just to make a sale) but because of who they were as people. I wish their shop many blessings and if you haven't checked it out , they also sell handmade ceramics like bowls and plates. Also some of the things are imported from Turkey. Koray and Abbe make most of the jewelry items themselves but the bracelets I purchased apparently were handmade in Turkey. I may never venture to Turkey in my lifetime but it's nice to know the items I purchased were crafted and curated by an artisan from another culture other than mine. I'm big on cultural diversity and respecting people's cultural differences so supporting this store feels like a win win for me in that respect :)

The store has beautiful things. But just make sure the owner charge you what he said because he charged me more after all. something dishonest on his part.

When I walked through the doors, it felt less like coming into a Jewlery store but rather being transported to another part of the world ?

I'm rarely downtown anymore but my son and I decided to come into the city and grab some lunch and walk around. I saw some bracelets in the window of Bella Turka, that reminded me of a bracelet that my boyfriend bought me from Material Culture and we decided to go in. There was a woman who greeted me and I mentioned the leather bracelets, in the window. She said, yes Rebel and I said, I wasn't sure if that was the designer but I asked to see them because she wasn't offering, to show me. I thought maybe I was being overly sensitive but after 21 years in retail, managing multi million dollar businesses, I know what good customer service looks like and when someone isn't being very nice. Based on your past Yelp reviews, I'd suggest that you take some inclusion training or maybe some basic customer service training. Retail 101...you can't judge a book by its cover. Beautiful merchandise...ugly service!
