About the Company:
Tanya Trahtemberg was born into the fourth generation of a family of jewelers who have made their mark in the industry since 1905. From the beginning, her Italian Great-Grandfather set the standard of quality and finesse that has guided Tanya through her years in the business.

Jewelry design is an inspiration that comes from within; it cannot be taught. Creating exceptional jewelry comes from years of experience. Head designer Tanya Trahtemberg has both.

The Tanya Trahtemberg workshop is located in the heart of the trendy business district of Miraflores, in Lima, Peru, close to the main store. This allows for a smooth flow of ideas between the designer and her jewelers.
Tanya is constantly traveling to find the most unique stones for which she designs exclusive pieces: hand carved Peruvian stones, tourmalines from Brazil, emeralds from Colombia, diamonds from Israel and many others. Inspiration comes from these travels and from the stones themselves.

All pieces are handmade with the utmost attention to detail. We only use 18 karat yellow and white gold or sterling silver to create these beautiful pieces that will become an integral part of your life.
