A spokesperson for Ottoman Hands said: "The inspiration behind the pieces came from Turquoise Mountain’s main collection. I love the artisan designs and how their pieces reflect Afghan heritage. I took the main geometric elements of their intricate pieces and implemented our modern twist to the designs.

"Every piece is made by hand, using traditional practices and set with Lapis Lazuli, the ancient gemstone of Afghanistan. Its name means 'stone from heaven', so we created designs with celestial and geometric elements in 18ct gold-plated sterling silver or brass.

"I am very happy with the result, as there are pieces for everyday stacking and also pieces for jewellery lovers who are seeking statement designs."
