Process and Inspiration

"Each jewel, like each person, is seen as a special and complete element, necessary to beautify the world."

Tatiana Marques

At the heart of my creative process is a deep love for stones. One of the most valuable lessons I learned during my time in Italy is that the stone is the soul of the jewel. Every design I create flows naturally around the stone, carefully crafted to enhance its light, personality, and unique beauty. The stone isn’t just a part of the design—it becomes the centerpiece, telling its own story through every sparkle and facet.

When I sit down to design, my desk transforms into a vibrant world of color. Small boxes filled with stunning gemstones are scattered across my workspace. I get so excited picking up each stone, feeling its energy, and then combining different hues and textures to bring my vision to life. This playful process of mixing and matching stones often leads to the birth of designs inspired by the natural world, animals, and fantasy realms—themes that are dear to my heart.

Crafting Your Dream Jewel

Creating custom jewelry is an intimate and collaborative experience. You and I work together to bring your dream jewel into reality. From the very first idea to the final polish, each step is handcrafted by me with love and attention to detail. I personally oversee every element of the process:

Selecting the perfect stones
Sketching the design
Metal casting
Goldsmith work
Engraving
Stone setting
Finishing touches
like gold or rhodium baths and the packaging

If your dream piece is a sculptural jewel, the process involves additional steps like modeling in wax or plasticine, creating silicone molds, and using the ancient art of lost wax casting. But no matter the technique, my passion for crafting unique and meaningful jewelry is at the core of everything I do.

Immersed in Creativity

When I’m in my creative space, I lose myself completely in the process. Time flies by as I focus on perfecting every detail. Often, I’ll forget to eat or sleep, pulling all-nighters without even realizing it! That’s the magic of creating jewelry—it’s not just work, it’s pure joy.

I believe in supporting local artisans and suppliers, always seeking the highest quality materials. Each stone I use is carefully chosen for its unique energy and personality, ensuring that it’s the perfect match for the piece it will inhabit. Every detail matters to me, from the glow of the gemstones to the final handwritten thank-you note that accompanies your package.

A Reflection of You

I believe that we are all made of color, boldness, elegance, and class. My greatest joy is helping my clients express their inner selves through the jewelry they wear. When you wear a Tatiana Marques piece, you’re not just wearing jewelry—you’re wearing a reflection of your own confidence, beauty, and uniqueness.

Together, let’s create something that speaks to who you are. After all, you are unique—your jewelry should be too.
