Tania Cavenecia Torres

San Francisco Bay Area, California

Many of my designs are influenced by my Peruvian heritage. I am also inspired by my materials - sterling silver, Tagua nuts, Acai and other seeds from the Amazon Rain Forest, semi-precious stones, leather and copper. It is important to me when designing and handcrafting my work to use eco-friendly materials . I use sustainably harvested Tagua nuts, Acai and Huayruro seeds. These natural resources also give the native people of the Amazon an economic means that does not involve the destruction of the Rain Forest.

I love being able to share my passion and my culture through my work !
