Art + Design
Tania loves jewelry and truly enjoys finding pieces that have a unique meaning. She would collect special pieces whenever she traveled to new places, and so her jewelry box became a storehouse of memories. Because to her, each piece has a story…
So, after years of buying unique jewelry pieces, layering necklaces, and mixing pendants she owned to create new styles, she decided it was time to make her own designs.
She now turns her paintings into wearable art
by hand-making her own resin pendants. The necklaces are individually designed around each pendant from repurposed vintage jewelry to complement and/or highlight certain elements of the artwork within the pendant. The result is a collection of one of a kind pieces, not just of jewelry, but art.
She brings the idea of story to her own jewelry designs. A single necklace can be made of tree different vintage necklaces and a repurposed pair of earrings. All great finds from wherever she happens to be wandering. Chicago, a flee market in London or a second-hand store in Spain. Things that, like the wearable art they become, can be found nowhere else in the world.
