Tamara Castagnaro
The Striped Cat Metalworks
About Us
I create one of a kind pieces of wearable art jewelry using recycled metals, ethically mined gemstones, and by using tools and processes that do not harm the earth or the life on it. Most jewelry pieces that I create will only ever have one design. I enjoy the process of making something that someone will have forever, love entirely, and be able to pass it onto someone they love to also enjoy some day. The love for nature will never go out of style.
How We Got Started
I really wanted to create art that was wearable but also spoke to people. Jewelry that would spark conversations when it was seen worn on someone, and to also start questions being asked about how we care for the planet and the life on it.

"Oh, Tina! Not only was she able to calmly (I am not calm!) go through all the concerns that I had with my business, she was able to help me focus on one at a time. I cannot do that alone! Tina helped point out things not only on my website that could be worked on, but she offered suggestions even on jewelry themes I could create! I am lucky to have met her and be guided by her within my small business. "
