Why We're Obsessed: Tara Gasparian Jewelry
Where sacred meets street-style! Tara Gasparian creates modern folk art jewelry — pieces that feel like little affirmations you can wear, each one telling its own story through vintage-inspired metalwork and healing stones. Her designs originate from vintage and antique treasures discovered on her travels throughout Europe and Latin America, reimagined into wearable art that carries the soul of every place she's found them.
Every piece is hand cast in solid bronze, sterling silver plated, and assembled by hand in her San Diego studio — old-world technique meets California craft. Think repoussé detailing, hand-knotted beading, and richly patinated finishes that only come from true artisan work. Even the earwires are made with you in mind: hypoallergenic bronze and silver plate, so beauty never comes at the cost of comfort.
Her signature motifs read like a personal mythology: sacred hearts crowned in flame, milagro charms, carved Buddha pendants, and celestial suns and moons. Stack her silver pearl and gemstone necklaces — amazonite hearts, jasper cabochons, hand-strung magnesite — for a look that's boho at heart but elevated in the details. This is handmade jewelry with intention, drawing on Southwestern silverwork, Mexican devotional art, and Buddhist iconography, reinterpreted for the modern spiritual seeker.
Every piece feels like a lucky find from the world's coolest antique shop (but make it modern). Whether you're layering her hand-cast necklaces, stacking beaded bracelets, or reaching for a statement sacred heart pendant, these gems bring the perfect mix of spirit and style to your everyday look. Because each piece is cast, strung, and finished by hand in small batches, no two are exactly alike — meaning what you find here is truly one-of-a-kind, just like you.
It's jewelry that doesn't just accessorize an outfit, it anchors an intention: protection, love, freedom, faith. Whether it's your everyday layering necklace or the pendant you reach for on hard days, these are the pieces that become part of your story.
