TL;DR
Head to the Tahtakale district near the Egyptian Bazaar (Hasırcılar Caddesi, Marpuçcular Caddesi), the Balat neighborhood, or weekly street markets like the Wednesday bazaar near Fatih Mosque.
What the community said
The Fatih district (17 sq km) has jewelry shops along the route from Gülhane to Sirkeci. The Grand Bazaar also has plenty of options.

The Tahtakale neighborhood in Eminönü is the go-to wholesale district for jewelry, craft supplies, and accessories. Dozens of shops and trading hans (like Marpuçcular Han) line Hasırcılar Caddesi and Marpuçcular Caddesi, offering both budget Chinese-made goods and Turkish-manufactured products.

Jewelry and craft supply shops cluster in the trading streets between the Grand Bazaar and the Egyptian Bazaar. The Balat neighborhood also has small shops selling bracelets. Weekly street markets — such as the Wednesday market near Fatih Mosque — are worth checking for affordable pieces.
