"I absolutely loved my earrings as a soon as I saw what you had so creatively imagined. They were so modern, they were different, they were flowing. I have had so many complements on them. They are just something I have never seen before and I immediately I had to have them."

"Tara is unquestionably one of the most talented, creative, and intuitive artists I have come across in my many years of collecting unique jewelry for myself and purchasing it for others. Nothing can match the incredibly meaningful sentiment of the ring that Tara designed for me. I love wearing it every day."

"I’m so glad that I met this young lady because she has transformed some of my old jewellery, in gold and stones, which I haven’t used for years, because I thought they were too damaged or broken. For example, I had three separate dress rings. Two belonged to my mother and one was mine. They all had damage and I took them to her to fix them in some way. And she did. But in the most stunning way. And in a way that has just been amazing for me. I’m so grateful to her, for her creativity and design. She’s done some other work for me as well and I’m over the moon with what she has been able to create. So, Tara, bless you. Thank you."

"What a marvellous job you did. Absolutely fantastic. The beautiful propeller represents all my working career in the aerospace industry, the wire; my love of sailing and then my four beautiful children and my gorgeous wife as pearls. All represented in one beautiful pendant that can be worn and shown off to everybody. It's absolutely fantastic You did a marvellous job. I really appreciate it."

“I'm delighted with the earrings and pendant Tara designed for me. The stones that I provided her with, were of particular sentimental value. They were given to me by my partner's father, who is not with us anymore, and had been a drawer for a good 20 years before I found the perfect opportunity and the perfect person to utilise them. Tara's great to work with. She gives you a lot of attention. She puts a lot of work into her design and there's really good communication right up until the finished product, which was presented to me, as a surprise, beautifully packaged.”
