Jewelry has a special place in my heart, as it is an industry I have grown up around. With my mother as a jewelry designer and growing up in Hong Kong a city central to the industry, it has been a great privilege to see beautiful art being created everyday.

 

It all started when I was young and I would visit my mom in her office, and to my amusement I would go digging around the office carpet picking up any loose gemstones.  My curiosity for wanting to know more about where gems come from, then led me to Carlsbad for a 6-month course in Gemology.  My time at GIA headquarters has given me profound respect for this industry, as I learnt not only about the beautiful wonders mother nature can create, but also about how gemstones and jewelry have been a bridge for trade between developed and developing economies, allowing us to share resources and build up economies together. 

​

This led me to thinking how I could do my part in helping the world while still pursuing a career. I've always been a great believer in this quote: ‘Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach a man how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime," and this thought is where tanisaJewelry stems from. I want to encourage women to thoughtfully spend their hard-earned money towards quality, fine jewelry- something that not only holds investment value but also will help them feel luxurious and empowered. I believe when you look and feel your best, you radiate your best energy in attracting positivity and success into your life.

 

Today, I am honoured to be a part of tanisaJewelry, where I get to translate my gratitude for this industry through the beautiful pieces I create for you. I hope you love these pieces as much as I do making them for you.
