We Esma (mother) and Halil (son) live in a pretty town called "Salihli",in Aegean region of Anatolia. Salihli is the home of "Ancient Lydian Empire" and civilization. "Sardes", the capital city of Ancient Lydian Empire is based near Salihli. Our name Lydia comes from there.

Here we are surrounded by vineyards, olive trees, forest covered mountains and historical monuments of Sardes, Apollon Temple. We are influenced by these vineyards, olive trees and rich Anatolian culture evolved through Lydia, Phrygia, Byzantine, Seljuk and Ottoman eras

Esma is talented about handicrafts. She took a lot of courses about jewelry making, embroidery, cross stitch, needle work, çini(tile), tailoring etc... But she never thought that in professional manner, they were her hobbies. Also Halil designs and makes unique design authentic and ethnic styled jewelries as hobby. So mother and son became together to exhibit their crafts on ETSY and turn their hobby in to professional manner.

We love to research new methods, new ideas, new embroidery - cross stitch patterns. And then of course we love to create unique, ethnic and authentic, charming jewelries covered with beautiful embroideries and cross stitch patterns.
