The Designer
Born to an Iranian mother and British father, Touran was brought up to appreciate and respect different cultures and customs. From early on, Touran had two strong passions: history and beautiful jewellery. Having lived in both Iran and Turkey, she was soon fascinated by their culture and ancient treasures.
Touran began designing and making her own jewellery from a very early age. She graduated from Trinity College Dublin with a degree in European history with French and Spanish and immediately set up Firouzeh.
Through Firouzeh, Touran hopes to bring to a wider audience a side of Iranian and Byzantine culture which is often forgotten in the current turmoil of the region; the rich history, creativity and art which she loves.
