When I saw the rings of Nilufer Tarzi Kuran on the Vivre website I was curious to learn more about the designer. Her rings with evocative names like Turban of the Sultan, Mysteries of the Palace and Lovers of the Harem feature precious stones set in silver and decorated with 18K gold-plated silver details. The designer lives in Istanbul and is the daughter of an Afghani father and a Turkish mother. The Tarzi family has been one of the ruling families of Afghanistan and she was inspired by the jewels of her late great aunt Queen Sorayah of Afghanistan. The rings on sale at Vivre sell for $700.
