The mind wanders. The hand carves.
“We are such stuff as dreams are made on.”
The Tempest
Tagtraum (the German word for daydream) is a one-woman, independent jewellery brand, inspired by surrealism and the objects we find when our mind wanders. Turning fleeting thoughts into wearable art, each hand-carved piece is designed for double-takes.
Crafted by hand. Designed by dreams.
My process
Every Tagtraum piece starts with a sketch. Traditional wax-carving techniques are then used to shape the design. From thought to paper, paper to wax, wax to precious metal, every step in the process is done entirely by hand.
Woman-owned. London-forged.
The Tagtraum studio is based in London. Every piece I create is designed and forged here. I’m a proudly independent, sustainable, one-woman business. That means every design is made to order, and every scrap of metal is saved and reused.
Waste not, want not.
Faces are endlessly fascinating.
No part is more entrancing than the nose.
Something so beautifully hypnotic deserves its own artwork.
This piece is inspired by the conversations I’ve lost staring at this transfixing feature.

Perchance to dream?
They say eyes are windows to the soul.
That means ears must be the doorway.
A strangely beautiful door, wouldn’t you agree?
This piece is inspired by hours spent doodling ears, when I should have been listening with my own.

Fish. Creatures so beautiful, a jeweller might have designed them.
Yet also, somehow, strange.
Those unblinking eyes. That piercing stare.
This piece is inspired by standing at the fishmongers, facing a glaring sea of silver.
