Tanja Hartmann / Jewelry

Armed with a confectioner’s pastry bag filled with creamy white, caramel-colored or even licorice-black silicone, jewelry designer Tanja Hartmann creates pieces of jewelry that are as appetizing as a pastry chef’s creations. Some of these “gourmet” rings, pins and earrings are additionally adorned with colored gemstones and pearls. Such a breach with tradition confuses the beholder, encourages communication and provides food for discussion. The most delectable feature of these pieces is their ability to stimulate both our optical and gustative nerves while brightening our mood at the same time. Stimulated by these feasts for the eyes, grown-ups can once again savor the sweet taste of childhood on their tongue and indulge in the natural desire for delightful consumption. The new themes of “gift’y” and “twist’y” joined the collection of the Tanja Hartmann jewelry workshop in 2010. Not unlike the ribbons typically used with gift wrap, they combine elegance and inspiring symbolism.
