Altınbaş Jewelry has been continuously growing into a global brand with 110 stores domestically and 20 concept stores abroad, through its branding, retailing activities, and innovations in the sector since the day it was founded. The roots of Altınbaş Jewelry were laid in the 1950s when the Altınbaş family entered the wholesale jewelry trade in Gaziantep. In 1975, Altınbaş made a rapid entry into the retail jewelry sector and laid the foundations of concept retailing, which now spans worldwide.

Altınbaş collections are created by its expert design team, who follow global trends and innovations, interpreting Turkish motifs and history in combination with universal design principles. The production takes place in the Altınbaş Factory, located in Istanbul Beylikdüzü, which is the largest gold factory in Turkey, spanning 15,000 square meters of covered area, and equipped with world-class, state-of-the-art technology.

Altınbaş aims to combine its well-established pioneering brand identity in Turkey’s jewelry sector with its global brand identity through its retail system, offering the best in design, product, customer, and human resource services.
