Tamara’s love of working with metal began
in 2003 at London’s Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design. Her
passion grew from there and she was inspired to do further study on return to
Melbourne, gaining her Advanced Diploma in Jewellery at Northern Melbourne
Institute of TAFE (NMIT) in 2007.
Since graduating Tamara has sold her
jewellery to Melbournians and tourists alike at the Rose Street Market in
Fitzroy and 2011 sees the launch of her label ‘my friend romeo’ - creating both
men and women’s handmade jewellery.
Her philosophy to treasure the small
things in life builds inspiration for both her label and design work and
translates well into making small treasures for others to enjoy. Tamara says,
‘my aesthetic is simple, wearable, understated design. I like to make things I
would like to wear and so far, luckily this has proven to appeal to others
too’.
Small treasures have come naturally, and
the extension into men’s jewellery the perfect fit: ‘I have been producing a
limited range of unisex pieces to date – however, I am now testing out both my
imagination and my lovely obliging male friends for feedback and modelling'.
We
think the men around town are in for a treat.
