Tabayer jewelry is rooted in the exploration of ancient wisdom, metaphysical protection, and tangibility of thought through the lens of visual abstraction. Drawing from the diverse symbology of protective objects, from the ancient world to present day, each Tabayer piece is an object of guardianship beyond possession, composed of the elemental bonds between vulnerability and strength.
The design philosophy of Tabayer is a pursuit of organic unity between design and material. Closer to sculpture than ornament, each piece is the interplay of curves and voids inspired by the principles of American abstract sculpture. Tabayer pieces bring together carefully considered elements into an inevitable and timeless form. As a conduit between the interior and exterior world, Tabayer jewelry seeks to reawaken us to the intrinsic value and power of precious materials, which have the power to guard as well as adorn us.
At the core of the Tabayer ethos is a deep commitment to protecting the earth and its inhabitants. All Tabayer pieces have been crafted from environmentally conscious and ethically sourced materials: Fairmined gold from responsible artisanal and small-scale mining organizations that promote social development and environmental protection and conflict-free Kimberley-certified diamonds.
