Small-batch jewellery shaped in silver, brass and copper, then brought to life with richly layered patinas.

Selected work
Organic shapes, tiny stories and unexpected colour. Each piece is made by hand, so its marks and patina belong to it alone.

Born in Bulgaria and now based in Auckland, Tanya has been making jewellery since graduating from art school in 2010.
Colour moves past thought and speaks straight to emotion.
Tanya’s practice is grounded in a fascination with the many ways metal can hold colour. She works with silver, copper, brass and glass, building surfaces that feel discovered rather than decorated.
Nature is her deepest source of inspiration: alive, intelligent and interconnected. People, fairy tales, legends and everyday moments also find their way into the work. For Tanya, each contains a treasure waiting to be transformed into wearable art.
Made slowly
The final colour emerges through a responsive process: shaping the metal, building the surface, watching the tone develop, then sealing the piece so the moment is held.
