OUR STORY
Established in 2011, the Linda Tahija brand is hinged around ethical manufacture, quality materials & craftsmanship, and creating jewellery pieces that hold a deep personal meaning for the wearer.
With a focus on designing sterling silver jewellery and solid 9k gold jewellery, all pieces are designed by Linda in her Sydney based studio and ethically crafted in Thailand.
Her career began after graduating from Sydney’s prestigious College of Fine Arts. Linda worked her way up to become the head designer at a company that supplied works to Australia’s largest commercial jewellers, a role that took her to Bangkok in Thailand and saw her work alongside some truly inspiring designers. Four years later, Linda's dream to have her very own label beckoned and so she made her way back to Australia. Upon her return in 2012, Linda Tahija Jewellery was born.
ETHICAL, FAIR MANUFACTURE
Ethical manufacture is at the core of the Linda Tahija brand. We therefore only partner with makers that share our ethical values and are certified by the Responsible Jewellery Council, the world's leading sustainability standard setting organisation for the jewellery industry.
This means the makers are paid a decent, living wage, treated fairly and respected, and are committed to responsible business practices.
HAND FINISHING
Linda Tahija pieces are predominantly crafted using the ancient process of lost wax casting and hand finishing. Each jewellery piece passes through many skilled, talented hands to bring our creations to life. So much love and care is put into the making of our jewellery.
SUSTAINABILITY
In addition to ethical manufacture, we are committed to sustainability.
All of our cast sterling silver jewellery is crafted from high quality metals that come from 100% recycled sources. This is essentially all of our jewellery excluding the chain and some earring backs.
Our solid 9k gold offering is currently a mix of pieces crafted from recycled gold, and also SMO (Single Mine Origin) gold. SMO gold is fully traceable and responsibly sourced.
