Elif Esra Kurşunlu, Architect and Lokman Kurşunlu, Engineer have created KURSHUNI brand in 2002 in Istanbul with the intention of beautifying the World through creativity, which they are passionately attached to. The brand’s name KURSHUNI is inspirated by their family name.

The story of KURSHUNI has begun with the opening of Turkey’s first glass art studio KURSHUNI. The brand has increased its awareness with National and International awards and successful exhibitions over the years. In the beginning, KURSHUNI Jewellery has been designed with precious metals and glass. As the brand evolved over the years, KURSHUNI Jewellery has been designed using 925 sterling silver mostly with “Execellence Star Cut” Cubic Zirconia stones and along with turquoise, labradorite, black spinel and amethyst. The brand has put its special signature to its silver jewellery by adding its handcrafted mini glass eye amulets, named KURSHUNI NAZAR. 

In 2010, KURSHUNI Jewellery has been introduced to Europe by becoming a regular attandee to the most popular and prestigous jewellery fairs of the sector, which opened new hozizons to become a global brand. KURSHUNI Jewellery increased sales volume and brand awareness in Europe by means of modern designs, unique and high quality products, affordable prices, sales and after sales services, marketing and communication activities.

In 2023, KURSHUNI introduced its first gold collection, which it both designed and produced in its own facilities.
Today KURSHUNI's gold and silver jewelry meets with consumers in many cities across the continents of Europe, Asia, North America, and Oceania.
