Gurhan Gives Back
Posted on July 21st, 2009 No comments
The world of designer jewelry is one of glamour, extravagance and opulent marvels. Existing in this lofty atmosphere, it’s all too easy for designers and their patrons to lose sight of the everyday. However, some members of this elite community choose to lend a hand to those less fortunate than themselves. One such person is world renowned gold jewelry designer Gurhan Orhan.This summer, Gurhan partnered up with charitable organization God’s Love We Deliver, helping in their mission to provide healthy meals and nutritional counseling to individuals afflicted with life-altering illnesses. Gurhan was able to contribute in two ways. Firstly, the brand donated a gorgeous aquamarine “Slice” necklace to be included in an auction bennefit. Secondly, memebers of the Gurhan staff volunteered together in the GLWD kikitchen helping to craft nutritious meals for over 3,000 people.
In these times of economic hardship, it’s doubly important for those endowed with wealth and privilege to open their hearts and share what they have with the disadvantaged. It’s encouraging to see that a successful and talented jewelry designer like Gurhan Orhan has made it a priority to persue such ambitions. This is just one more reason why Gurhan is one of our favorite jewelry brands.
