A new collection of fine gold and other jewellery for women has been unveiled by Turkish firm Ista Jewelry.

Headed by designer Mevesh, the company's pieces tend to fuse ancient and modern influences and its latest range is no exception.

The firm's fall 2009 collection includes items made from hand-hammered 18-c gold that have been inspired by the floral and animal motifs seen in Turkish ceramics and tapestries.

Influences from Byzantine, Ottoman and Anatolian architecture can also be seen in the limited edition range of necklaces, earrings, bracelets and rings.

Mevesh says: "All women are beautiful - good jewellery design enhances this beauty by highlighting the wearer's individual taste and sensibility."

Ista Jewelry's pieces can be found in three Kabiri stores across London.

Mevesh was born in Istanbul and worked as chief designer for an international jewellery firm in New York for 13 years before branching out into her own accessories business.
