Gevherhan Sultan was one of the four daughters of Ahmed I by Kösem Sultan (Other's being Ayşe Sultan, Fatma Sultan and Hanzade Sultan), who contracted multiple marriages that six times during their lifetime resulted in the promotion of their spouses to the office of grand vizier. Gevherhan held the record among her siblings by her betrothal to three grand viziers: Öküz Mehmed Pasha, Topal Recep Pasha, and Siyavuș Pasha.

In 1619 she was married firstly to grand vizier Öküz Mehmed Pasha and became widow by his death. On her marriage to Mehmed Pasha the guests were entertained by Egyptian shadow players. Among these was the famous Davud el-attar (Menavi), whom Ahmed I had seen perform in Edirne, In 1624 she was married secondly to Topal Recep Pasha and again became widow by his death. After Receb's death she was betrothed to Siyavuș Pasha, but he died before the marriage could take place. She had a son by her first husband and a daughter by her second husband. She died in 1660.
