Besides becoming a busy mom of two, co-founder of the global lifestyle on-line magazine – Picnic under the orange tree – Tanja is now a really successful jeweller and her workshop is located in the old village of Ibiza with a beautiful view to the castle.
Tanja works mainly in silver and gold and each single piece is made by hand. All the jewelry is special and one of a kind. Tanja also re-creates most of her designs in miniature for kids.
Tanja Ting’s fashion is raw, organic, easy and playful. She gets her inspiration from traveling, music and walking the metropolis streets. Tanja spends a lot of time in and nearly the old finca, the place she lives with her family. So last but not least it is the styles of nature which provides her the inspiration for her incredible and balanced designs.
Tanja, who enjoys her vegetables and the raw nature which surounds her states: ” Character is the most apparent source of inspiration. Hundreds of thousands of years of advancement has shaped all biological forms. This maximized their environmental performance for sheer survival. These are all tried and proven forms. They have been shaped by environmental pressures of wind, water etc.. Why not use these energetic great designs?
When we observe any living organism, we are witnessing the exsistance of an champion. Everything we see which exists in nature is at the top of it’s type in advancement and survival. It is survival of the fittest and only the ultimately fit survive in this extremely viable world. Because of this environment of screening of shape, the results are no less than perfect. Dynamics indicates me the formula for size, dimension and sturdiness of design.
Tanja use either gold or silver in all her items. Gold has always been among the most popular and well-known minerals, known for its value ( that looks to in no way stop increasing in value) and exceptional properties since the first of time. Nice items of jewelry has always been worth significantly more than the labeled gold value. The colour of pure gold is vivid golden yellow, but the greater the silver content, the whiter its colour is. Depending on the piece Tanja will choose the carat ( the mixture of precious metal ) – “These days I produce very little in high carat” Tanja states.
Silver has also always been a valuable metal. Ever since it was discovered 1000 of years ago. Its acceptance has grown evenly throughout the times and it has always been fashionable. “Silver remains inexpensive – and gold costs are so high now. Naturally a lot of my customers these days prefer silver to gold.
Tanja has so far offered her items to suppliers in the principal metropolitan areas around Europe and by customers getting in touch with her directly, but she has now started to trade her incredible and special jewelry on-line in the web boutique called detdet.com.
