The Designer: Tara Sims
My passion for traveling, immersing myself in distant cultures and coming home with something both meaningful and chic has opened many doors for me, both near and afar. I am inspired by the wisdom, resilience and beauty of the tribesmen and women I have met in Kenya, Tanzania and throughout the archipelago of Indonesia. I fondly remember the tympanic melodies created by the master silversmith's of Taxco, Mexico as they hand hammered and forged sterling silver into fine pieces of wearable art.

When designing, I strive to create that which will stand out with style and grace, with primitive undertones, with thought provoking class. Sometimes I find my inspiration in the far corners of the earth and sometimes it finds me.
When in New York, I am always moved by it's many iconic human portraits of style. While studying to become a Graduate Gemologist, I fell in love with the fire and brilliance of a well proportioned diamond, the spell binding color of the Paraiba Tourmaline and the jardin of inclusions seen in a fine Colombian Emerald.
