OUR STORY
Aya Fancy Jewelry&Rugs
Husret Abi is a young entrepreneur and Founder of AYAFANCY JEWELRY & RUGS. He started with the rug business in 2005 in Istanbul.
In 2016 he moved his rug business to California, USA. He currently owns a beautiful retail rug store named RUBY RUGS in Berkeley, California.
He knew he wanted to focus on creating a new business of fine hand knotted rugs. His love of this ancient and beautiful handwoven art shows when he talks about the history of rugs and their designs.
Even though his first love is luxurious traditional designed rugs; Husret is inspired by the new stylish looks of modern rugs which is very clear to see in the Ruby Rugs showroom in Berkeley, California.
Starting my own jewelry business was always a dream for me says Husret Abi. In 2020 during the pandemic he started the construction of todays’ AYAFANCY jewelry bulding. After almost 2 years of construction he built a unique, modern and very fancy building for his Jewelry and rug business.
When naming his new business AYAFANCY, he drew inspiration from his modern architecture and neighboring landmark Hagia Sophia Mosque & Museum.
In august 2021 AYAFANCY Jewelry & Rugs opened its door for business.
