Graduate Gemologist based in Geneva, Tina’s passion for jewels lead her to create her own line, Jewels by T, after having worked for several luxury jewelry and watch companies. More precisely, it is after having interned at the Diamond Bourse in Tel Aviv with a company specialized in yellow diamonds that she took the plunge and created her own collection in 2008.Diamonds being her signature stone, her collection is the definition of feminism and elegance in which we can see the influences of her multicultural background as Tina was born in Brazil, raised in Geneva while also lived in London, New York and Tel Aviv.
In her collection, you will find a great variety of diamond necklaces, earrings and rings, all embodying a sense of elegance and purity. Tina’s jewelry pieces would lift up an outfit to another level thus giving it just the touch of feminity and romantism we all love to indulge in. Worn with a casual jeans or a cocktail dress, her jewels literally lighten the outfit with great delicacy.
Being creative while keeping the models elegant and wearable on an everyday basis, is one of Tina’s line great qualities. In other words, a collection revealing timeless beauty with timeless pieces we could imagine wearing and wearing continuously as diamonds are forever, aren’t they?!
I will let you take a look at some of my favorite pieces as I think that the collection speaks for itself.

But, in the meantime to learn more about this talented jewelry designer, here is an interview I did of my very good friend, Tina.
Popy: To start, please tell us, where does your passion for jewels come from?
Tina: Since my childhood: always loved to see my mother wearing nice pieces of jewelry.
When I was a kid, I used to go with her to buy jewelry at this very elegant and nice woman: already in my mind wanted to be like her! It became a reality….many many years later!
