Born to a storytelling father and a crafty mother, the founder of Oko - Ezgi, inherited a deep love for tales and a creative spirit. Her work is shaped by memories of ancient symbols, the vibrant colours of Mediterranean life, the serenity of olive trees, and the scent of the Aegean Sea. Oko is more than just a brand—it's a daily connection to heritage, bridging the 14,675 kilometres between Melbourne and her hometown. The name "Oko," a simple Slavic word meaning "eye," also represents the language of love that rooted Ezgi in Australia in their thirties.

Through Oko, you’ll find handmade jewellery and art inspired by Anatolian and Mediterranean cultures. Every piece carries the fingerprint of a person or a story—crafted to soothe longing, invite luck, and weave you into something timeless.
