In Turkey, the jewellery market is currently in a state of adjustment as it follows the major Valentine’s Day sales and prepares for the upcoming International Women's Day (March 8). As of February 23, 2026, many major Turkish brands are clearing winter inventory with "End of Season" discounts.
Top Brand & Retailer Offers (February 2026)
Zen Diamond
Zen Diamond is currently maintaining its lead in the diamond retail sector with strong promotional campaigns:
* Selected Product Discounts: Offering up to 40% OFF on selected diamond necklaces and rings.
* Airport Specials: If you are traveling through Istanbul Airport (IST), the Zen Diamond store (near Pier A/B) is running a dedicated 40% discount campaign on a wide range of luxury pieces.
* Global Push: Interest in the brand has spiked following the appointment of Jennifer Lopez as their Global Ambassador, leading to high demand for their "Red Carpet" inspired collections.
Atasay
A powerhouse in Turkish gold, Atasay is focusing on versatile gold fashion for 2026:
* Major Markdowns: Like Zen, Atasay's flagship airport locations are currently offering a 40% discount across all items, including their 14K and 18K fashion lines.
* Online Catalog: Their 2026 models for 22K Gold Necklaces and earrings are currently being showcased with "New Arrival" status, often accompanied by same-day shipping and introductory pricing for web orders.
Altınbaş
* Spring Refresh: Altınbaş is transitioning into its Spring 2026 collection. Look for 15% to 25% OFF on their "Modern Ottoman" and "Life" collections, which feature traditional motifs with contemporary finishes.
* Bridal Sets: With the wedding season approaching, Altınbaş is offering bundled pricing on 22K wedding sets (including necklace, bracelet, and earrings).
Cartier Turkey
For high-end luxury shoppers, Cartier's Turkish boutiques (Zorlu Center, Istinye Park) have updated their 2026 pricing:
* Iconic Pieces: Love earrings and Juste un Clou rings in rose gold are currently retailing starting from approximately 318,000 ₺ and 55,000 ₺ respectively.
Today's Gold Rates in Turkey (February 23, 2026)
Gold prices in Turkey have been volatile due to currency fluctuations and high global spot prices. Current retail rates per gram in Turkish Lira (TRY):
* 24K Gold: ~7,320 ₺
* 22K Gold: ~6,710 ₺
* 18K Gold: ~5,490 ₺
> Note: The "Gram Gold" (GRAMG) price has seen a 4.2% increase over the last 7 days, making this a high-cost period for investment gold.

Shopping Tips for Turkey
* The Grand Bazaar (Kapalıçarşı): For the best value on 22K gold by weight, head to the heart of Istanbul. While brands like Zen and Atasay have fixed discounts, bazaar merchants are more likely to negotiate the "Worker Fee" (Işçilik) down by 10–20%, especially for cash payments.
* Airport Advantage: The 40% discounts at Istanbul Airport are highly competitive compared to city-center boutiques, making it a great place for last-minute luxury gifting.
* Tax-Free Shopping: Foreign tourists can claim a VAT refund on jewellery. Ensure you shop at stores marked with "Global Blue" or "Tax-Free Shopping" and get your forms stamped at Customs.
* Purity Verification: Turkish gold is heavily regulated. Look for the official TSE (Turkish Standards Institute) hallmark and the carat stamp (e.g., 916 for 22K) to ensure authenticity.
