Intro
Syldyr is a new contemporary jewelry initiative in Kazakhstan that will curate Treasure Island the first exhibition of conceptual jewelry in Astana, Kazakhstan’s capital. 

The word “Syldyr” is translated from Kazakh as “ringing” and is referring to the melodic sound of traditional Kazakh hair jewelry makes when its owner moves, while also protecting the wearer from evil spirits.
