Insects & Animals

Hand carved miniature sculptures.

Custom Creatures

Do you have a favourite creature you would like to have made into a wearable miniature sculpture? A ring, necklace earrings to display your adoration of the natural world, or your own pet?

Provide a picture or idea, and I will custom carve your token animal.

Reuse, Recycle & Redesign

Let's melt down all your unworn, out of date jewellery (silver, gold or platinum) and remake it into something you would like to have today! Big, funky, bracelets, rings, pendants etc don't have to cost a bomb when you supply the metal, AND you get to design it!  It's the green way to style yourself!

Divorce Rings

Bring in unused engagement & wedding rings and turn them into custom made designs to symbolise your new style, or the great things that were the product of your marriage, the children!

Jewellery Box Evaluation

Bring in all your treasures to my secure, downtown office, and I'll tell you what is over $500 Insurance Replacement Value, in other words what you may want is monetarily worth putting into your homeowner's insurance policy, or have a separate rider put on. Entire jewellery box evaluation is free, and any subsequent appraisal are $75.00 each, appraised by Toronto's oldest, trusted jewellery appraisal company, Harold Weinstein Ltd. (www.hwgem.com).  

Custom Made Fine Jewellery

Using all new materials and colourful diamonds and gemstones we will design your new jewellery together.

Engagement, wedding or for no occassion whatsoever!

Tara is inspired by the natural world and the animal kingdom. Tara was honoured to receive a large commission project from her modern day patron, Swiss Tropical Gardens Papiliorama, www.papiliorama.ch for a sculptured assortment of the animals found in their Belizean sanctuary. 

Tara continues to add to the collection regularily, and enjoys carving pastoral scenes, as well as pet portraits and her own favourite mythological topics.

Working in a hard sculpting wax, Tara whittles and carves, using an image or in some cases from a live model. The carving is then casted into silver, patinaed, polished and finished with gemstones and other jewellery findings if to be used as wearable art.

Commissions are welcomed at any time, but please allow for 4 to 6 weeks for completion.
