Oya: Adding New Energy to a Rich Tradition
Oya is a unique form of lacework that relies on the use of tiny, intricately interwoven loops and knots to create the breathtaking designs and dazzling patterns.
Although Oya can be performed using a variety of tools, including crochet hooks and traditional shuttles, the finest Oya is generally produced using small sewing needles and silky threads.
The repetitive nature of the Oya technique requires artisans to develop incredible patience and self-discipline, so much so that the term has become synonymous with painstakingly difficult tasks within the Turkish language.
The love poured into Oya jewelry shines forth from every stitch, sending a message that transcends culture and resonates with everyone.
