To be able to whiff off a country’s fashion, cultural, lifestyle aesthetics without having to be physically present in that place is pretty magical. One of the core foundations for Tanzire’s conception, hence, was to let women from around the world experience this magic through jewelry. The thought led to execution and here we are - housing contemporary handmade jewelry from 13 women artisans from 10 different countries.
Each piece of jewelry speaks a different language, fine-tuned by artisan’s individual vision, experiences, inspirations, which is further wrapped in its country’s traditional or contemporary or a mix of both aesthetics. Handmade jewelry from a different country makes us - Tanzire and Tanzire Women feel like a part of that country. It brings a sense of belongingness and attachment along with it. Let’s take a closer look at our collaborations with handmade designers from different countries and learn more about what have they brought into the world of Tanzire. Every piece manifests the creation of a new world for today’s women: brave, genuine and sophisticated.
1. Spain
The vacay-favorite, casual-looking Western European country - Spain actually champions a very crisp and tip-top sense of style. And, thanks to Maramz by Marian Zaragoza from Madrid and PD Paola by Paola Sasplugas from Barcelona for introducing us to that unpopular opinion of the country. When it comes to fashion, Spanish people are always-well-dressed, always-classy, and always-crisp. It’s the #1 trend that the country follows. And both the artisans inculcate these core fashion aesthetics of the country into their design. Celebrate Spain with the elegant, feminine, and contemporary pieces of jewelry available on our website.
2. Greece
Fashion in this Eastern Europe country finds a balance between traditions and contemporary sense of style. It’s subtle yet carrying the sensuality and boldness of the Greeks. Handmade designer Eva Karkaletsi from Athens brings this essence of Greece mixed with her bohemian sense of style into the Tanzire world. Her pieces of jewelry from ANNU are traditionally raw and sensually designed with modern abstract designs.
3. Indonesia
You’d feel like you’ve hit the beach by just owning the pieces by Natalia from Bali, Indonesia. Just like Bali’s lenient fashion code, Molina Jewellery features pieces that’ll remind of the country’s sun-kissed beaches. Be it the detailed textures on the hoops or using conch shells as raw materials, Natalia infuses Bali’s everyday-is-a-vacation vibe into her jewelry. We’d be lying if we didn’t agree that Molina teleports us to the refreshing, relaxing side by the beach just with its visual aesthetics.
4. Italy
Everything that you’ve known about Italy - from its exemplary fashion game to the fashion sensibilities of the Italian avant-garde, is incorporated into wearable pieces of art through Ilaria Ludovici Jewelry by Ilaria Ludovici from Rome.

5. India
Just like India’s diverse cultures, our 4 brands from India bring myriad sides of the country to Tanzire. On one hand, Jinal Chowksi’s My Meera Store from Ahmedabad and Garima Singh’s Iha from Delhi add the ancient and traditional touch of India with their stones, beads, and thread & rope jewelry. On the other hand, Sonika’s Neti Neti from Delhi and Aarushi’s Studio Kassa from Jaipur add the contemporary, modern, and forward-moving side of India. Both their jewelry is extremely unique and takes inspiration from nature. While Neti Neti uses broken barks and wasted wood, Kassa exhibits India’s detail-to-craftsmanship through its fine use of textures and ancient techniques.
6. Honduras
Collaborating with designers from countries that are relatively less popular has been something we look forward to most. Our collaboration with Maria Echeverri, from Central America’s Honduras, is one such amazing experience. To know and understand the art and craft of Honduras through her jewelry is just magnificent. Each of her pieces represents Honduras's undiscovered under-water beauty and brings them alive via beautiful textures and coral-like shapes. As it unravels the unknown about the country she also infuses fluidity of the aquatic life into her collection.
7. Vietnam
Even though Vietnam is seeing rapid modernization, what’s inspiring is that every Vietnamese ensures to move forward while keeping their old values and traditions intact. Handmade designer Jasmine Lam infuses this beautiful culture of the country into her brand Lamcy, which houses contemporary jewelry amalgamated with a hint of tradition. All of her pieces from link chain jewelry to statement earrings are modern in design with traditional crafting techniques behind them.
8. Hong Kong
Hong Kong is famous for its cosmopolitan lifestyle and diverse cultures residing in one place, hence our handmade store Gosia Orlowska Designs by Gosia Orlowska brings the luxe and multi-cultural part of the city. Druzy stones on a gold plated surface or bringing together silk tassel earrings and 18k gold plated metal, her pieces give make us a part of the affluent lifestyle of Hong Kong.
9. Morocco
Morocco as a country enjoys rich and diverse cultures that come across beautifully through their lifestyle and fashion aesthetics. A lot of today’s creations show that the country still holds diversity from its history - from Arabic to European, the streets, the infrastructure, and art reflect the influence. Our handmade designer Rebecca from Marrakech, owner of Hamimi, infuses the vibrant and bohemian aesthetics of Morocco into her pieces of jewelry that totally light up the Tanzire world with a delightful Moroccan vibe.
