Lebanese jewelry designer Tarfa Itani appropriates her Oriental heritage into her brand to create original handmade sculptural fine jewelry.
Tarfa combines traditional craftsmanship, materiality, and symbolism with contemporary feminine character to cultivate a brand that recognises the symbiosis of the past and present that personifies the holistic modern woman. The distinct formal aesthetics and conceptual finesse of her fine jewelry validates her pieces as evocative heirlooms that can be handed down through generations.
Founding her brand in 2006, Tarfa is a graduate jeweller of the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), and has since won international awards, including recognition from Premier Awards for Best Fashion Design and Best Oriental Design.
