Born in Paris France and raised within the ready to wear world since her childhood; Tamara Akcay instinctively trains at Esmod and Studio Bercot, top renowed fashion schools in Paris.
She then works in Paris, London and Los Angeles successively in the fashion design and production field. California is where she will learn jewelry making. Starting with assembling pieces and then taking it to the next level with wax carving. The need to “create unique pieces” became vital she says, tired to use the same parts as everyone else.
After several years selling her one of a kind and bespoke pieces to the best stores in Los Angeles she decides to use her heritage and spend time in Paris to work with jewelry ateliers. The jewelry line then becomes creative, high end and made in Paris France.
