Ali Vedad Yuner is a Turkish-born jeweler and designer currently based in Brooklyn, NY. Charmed by the silvery facades of fish encountered in the Turkish coast, a visual interest in metal was born. This interest in metal landed Ali in Pratt Institute, where he graduated with a degree in Industrial Design. Along with a need for creative expression, and a reaffirmed fascination with metal invoked through a brief stint in commercial jewelry, he ended up in Rhode Island School of Design, graduating with an MFA in Jewelry and Metalsmithing. Maintaining an interest in aquatic life, he composes organs, bones, and evolved structures into adornments of talismanic power.
