Introducing: Tanya Igic - Contemporary Jewellery Designer


 Tanya Igic is a contemporary jewellery designer who is originally from Serbia and now she resides in Swansea, South Wales. Her jewellery  is designed with the emphasis on innovative and creative design. All her work is in leather and each piece is individual and unique.
We recently had the pleasure to work with her on our Europe's Perfect photo shoot.  Tanya brought an amazing selection of exquisite hand crafted pieces of jewellery along to shoot with the swimwear.  
Tanya works with the finest quality delicate leather in many beautiful shades and she is influenced by floral, natural or abstract motifs.



Tanya produces wide range of elegant necklaces, earrings, bracelets, brooches as well as bridal accessories. 

Tanya's work is very intricate and this is how she creates beautiful timeless works of art; 
After selecting the best leather skin and colours, she cuts and seals together up to eleven layers, to form the required shape. When dry the layered leather shapes are cut into thin slices. The softness of the leather allows Tanya to stretch these slices into shapes which are then bonded together. Silver wires and beads are then added as embellishments. 
Tanya exhibits at  major events, shows and galleries across the UK and sells via design-led retail outlets as well as established galleries. prices start at crica. £80.00
