Turkey Necklace – Carry Your Homeland With You

A Turkey necklace is more than an accessory – it's a statement of who you are. Whether it's the Ay Yıldız, the crescent moon or the country outline: with a necklace from d'origine, you wear your heritage right on your body. Our Turkey Collection includes emblem necklaces, bracelets, rings, keychains and phone cases – all made from high-quality materials and backed by a 365-day guarantee. Whether you were born in Turkey, grew up in Europe, or carry both identities at once: this necklace connects you to your roots. At d'origine, people from more than 40 countries show where they come from. The Turkey Collection is one of our most popular – because the bond to home runs especially deep in the Turkish community.

What Does Ay Yıldız Mean? The Star and Crescent Explained

Ay Yıldız – crescent moon and star – is the most recognisable symbol of Turkey and has graced the Turkish flag since 1844. Its origins, however, go back much further: the crescent was already the central symbol of power in the Ottoman Empire. The five-pointed star was added later, and together with the crescent it represents independence and Turkish identity. Millions of Turks around the world wear the Ay Yıldız as jewellery – as a necklace, pendant or ring. For the Turkish diaspora in Europe, the symbol carries a special meaning: it's a visible sign of connection to the homeland, worn in everyday life – at work, at celebrations, or simply on the go. Our Ay Yıldız necklace captures this symbol and turns it into a piece of premium jewellery you can wear every day.

Turkish Jewellery: A Tradition Spanning Centuries

Turkey has one of the richest jewellery traditions in the world. As far back as the Ottoman Empire, sultans employed dozens of master jewellers in the Topkapı Palace, and the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul has been the centre of Turkish gold trade since 1455. Gold plays a special role in Turkish culture: at weddings, engagements and Bayram celebrations, it's tradition to give gold jewellery and gold coins – as a sign of prosperity, blessing and family bond. Turkish gold is traditionally crafted in 22 carats and is regarded as a store of value passed down from generation to generation. Our Turkey necklaces stand in this tradition: they combine modern design with cultural meaning. Unlike classic Turkish gold jewellery, we use durable materials at a fair price – so you can wear your heritage every day without spending hundreds.

Material and Quality of Our Turkey Necklaces

Our Turkey Collection uses different materials depending on the product. The Turkey Emblem Necklace V2 for men is made from high-quality stainless steel with 18K gold plating – rust-proof, waterproof and scratch-resistant. The women's emblem necklace is crafted from 18K gold-plated brass and hand-set with zirconia stones – for an elegant, sparkling finish. Both versions are waterproof and allergy-friendly: you can wear them in the shower, during sport or on holiday without worrying about the material. Unlike cheap fashion jewellery that tarnishes after a few weeks, our necklaces keep their shine. All products come with a 365-day guarantee. Each necklace is delivered in a premium jewellery box – perfect as a gift for Bayram, birthdays or weddings.

Turkey Necklace for Men and Women

Our Turkey Collection has something for everyone. The Turkey Emblem Necklace V2 for men features a 60 cm curb chain with a striking Ay Yıldız pendant in stainless steel. The women's version comes with a finer 40 cm chain (plus 5 cm extension) and a zirconia-studded pendant – elegant yet equally expressive. Both are available in silver and gold. For those who want the full package, the Turkey Emblem Bundle offers a necklace and matching bracelet at a reduced set price. A cohesive look for any occasion – from everyday wear to celebrating with family or cheering on the Millî Takım.

Turkey Necklace in Silver or Gold – Which One Suits You?

Gold holds a special place in Turkish culture – so it's no surprise that the gold version of our Turkey necklace is particularly popular. The 18K gold plating gives the necklace the warm, rich shine that many know from the Turkish jewellery tradition. The silver version offers a cooler, more modern look that pairs well with almost anything. Both variants are waterproof and allergy-friendly. Our tip: go with the jewellery colour you already wear most. In the Turkish community, yellow gold is traditionally the first choice – if you love that look, go for the gold Turkey necklace. For a more modern, understated style, choose silver. Many customers order both colours or add the matching bracelet bundle.

More Than a Necklace: The Full Turkey Range

Beyond the classic Turkey necklace, our collection includes more accessories featuring the Ay Yıldız motif. The Turkey Emblem Bracelet pairs perfectly with the necklace and works on its own or as a set. The Turkey Keychain is ideal for anyone who wants to carry their connection to Turkey subtly but daily. There's also the Turkey Phone Case with crescent design in durable TPU silicone, plus the Turkey Emblem Ring. Every product follows the same design concept: Ay Yıldız on premium material, in a quality built for everyday life. Build your personal Turkey set piece by piece.

Buying a Turkey Necklace – What to Look For

If you're looking to buy a Turkey necklace, pay attention to three things: material, craftsmanship and chain length. For material, stainless steel and high-quality brass with 18K gold plating are the best options – far more durable than cheap fashion jewellery that tarnishes or discolours quickly. For craftsmanship, check details like the coating, the clasp and the thickness of the pendant. For chain length, we recommend 55 to 60 cm for men and 40 to 50 cm for women, depending on the desired look. At d'origine, you order directly from our shop – no middlemen. Shipping within Germany is free, and you'll typically receive your order within 1 to 3 working days. Within Europe, shipping is also free on orders over €25.

How Many Turks Live in Germany?

Around 3 million people with Turkish roots live in Germany – the largest Turkish diaspora in the world outside of Turkey itself. Since the first guest workers arrived in the 1960s, a vibrant community has developed that is now rooted in Germany in the third and fourth generation. Many know the feeling of standing between two worlds: growing up here, roots over there. A Turkey necklace is, for many, a simple but powerful way to make this dual identity visible – no grand gesture, just part of the daily look. At d'origine, we understand this feeling, because that's exactly why we founded the brand: jewellery that makes heritage visible. That's why we offer collections for more than 40 countries – from Germany to Albania to Bosnia.
