Philosophy
During a challenging time in her personal life, while searching for a way to overcome stress and anxiety, Tatiana discovered jewelry design. The emotional release as well as the opportunity to challenge herself in a new form of creative expression was liberating. The kindness she was able to “gift” to herself via the act of allowing herself the freedom to try, make mistakes, and embrace flaws as marks of character and true beauty enriched her life. Tatiana infuses each piece of her jewelry with this very “gift”, providing every client with the wish of acceptance and self-love.
Tatiana’s desire to help others is the reason why a portion of sales are donated.
