About Ondyn Fine Jewelry
ONDYN is a modern fine jewelry collection inspired by the power of movement and its ability to harness energy and catch light. This idea is forged into each of our fine jewelry pieces allowing the jewelry to ‘move’ with the essence of its wearer. Hand crafted with 18-karat gold for its strength and luminosity, each creation evokes a fluid sculptural identity, achieved by ONDYN’s signature articulated diamond bezel setting. Through combining technical ingenuity and a refined architectural aesthetic, ONDYN’s jewelry drapes like a second skin, taking shape on the body and manifesting a kinetic flow to create the new visual language of diamond jewelry.
About the Designer, Tara Maria Famiglietti
Born and raised in Manhattan, Tara Maria Famiglietti was acclaimed as a jewelry designer to watch by New York Magazine at the age of twenty, when she developed a contemporary fine jewelry line using diamonds and 18kt gold that would one day become the inspiration for ONDYN’s clean and luxurious aesthetic. Since then, Tara, who received a degree in jewelry design from The Fashion Institute of Technology, has collaborated with some of the biggest names in the industry to create pieces that have been sold in exclusive boutiques and department stores around the world.
Tara refined her visual language growing up as the only daughter of two sought after fashion designers. In his downtown boutique, Tara’s father created bespoke clothing and shoes for Eric Clapton, Mick Jagger, John Lennon, and Jimmy Hendrix, among others. Her mother and aunt owners of the esteemed Madison Avenue Boutique Menage a Trois, designed clothes for such fashion icons as Diana Ross, Bianca Jagger, Barbara Streisand, and Diane Von Furstenberg.
Tara’s inspiration has always come from a strong world view, sense of exploration outside one’s own boundaries, and largely the awe-inspiring nature of the sea. Her fascination with water and movement began during the years she lived on a sailboat, traveling through the French Riviera, the Amalfi Coast, the Balearic Islands, the African Coast and the Caribbean.
Dear friends,
As a jewelry designer, I strive to create unique pieces that strike curiosity and constant fascination when worn. Each individual piece has a soul, designed to accentuate the inherent elegance of a woman while creating an experience. I shape each piece of ONDYN to catch light and energy, forging a mindful technique that has allowed the designs to ‘move’ with the essence of its wearer. Each piece is created to stand on its own, like a small sculptures made with the finest materials on earth. Once worn, their ethereal nature comes to life igniting the magic of jewelry.
