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 named as “jewelry designer to watch” by New York Magazine at the age of twenty after launching a contemporary fine jewelry collection in 18-karat gold and diamonds. She went on to earn a degree in Jewelry Design from the Fashion Institute of Technology before collaborating with some of the industry’s most respected houses and creating work for internationally recognized figures in entertainment. Her designs have appeared in exclusive boutiques and department stores around the world, as well as in deeply personal private commissions.
A distinct visual language came naturally. Tara was raised as the only daughter of two fashion designers whose worlds blurred the line between craftsmanship and culture. From his downtown Manhattan atelier, her father created bespoke clothing and footwear for Eric Clapton, Mick Jagger, John Lennon, David Bowie, and others. Her mother and aunt, founders of the celebrated Madison Avenue boutique Ménage à Trois, dressed icons including Diana Ross, Bianca Jagger, Barbra Streisand, and Diane von Furstenberg.
For Tara, inspiration has never come from looking inward, but from remaining in motion. Years of modern dance cultivated an enduring fascination with rhythm, balance, and the expressive language of the body. Later, living on a sailboat while traveling the coastlines of Europe for two years deepened her connection to the ever changing movement of the sea and the way light dances across its surface, a quiet fascination that continues to shape the fluidity, brilliance, and sense of motion found throughout her designs.
Her work is shaped less by trends than by an enduring curiosity, a belief that the most meaningful objects invite us to look a little closer.
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.
