ONDYN is a modern fine jewelry collection inspired by the power of movement and its ability to harness energy and catch light. This idea is forged into each of the fine jewelry pieces allowing the jewelry to ‘move’ with the essence of its wearer. Hand crafted with 14-karat gold for its strength and luminosity, each creation evokes a fluid sculptural identity, achieved by ONDYN’s signature articulated diamond bezel setting. Through combining technical ingenuity and a refined architectural aesthetic, ONDYN’s jewelry drapes like a second skin, taking shape on the body and manifesting a kinetic flow to create the new visual language of diamond jewelry.
Tara Maria Famiglietti was acclaimed as a jewelry designer to watch by New York Magazine at the age of twenty, when she developed a contemporary fine jewelry line using diamonds and 18kt gold that would one day become the inspiration for ONDYN’s clean and luxurious aesthetic. Tara refined her visual language growing up as the only daughter of two sought after fashion designers. In his downtown boutique, Tara’s father created bespoke clothing and shoes for Eric Clapton, Mick Jagger, John Lennon, and Jimmy Hendrix, among others. Her mother and aunt, owners of the esteemed Madison Avenue Boutique Menage a Trois, designed clothes for such fashion icons as Diana Ross, Bianca Jagger, Barbara Streisand, and Diane Von Furstenberg. Tara’s inspiration has always come from a strong world view, sense of exploration outside one’s own boundaries, and largely the awe-inspiring nature of the sea. Her fascination with water and movement began during the years she lived on a sailboat, traveling through the French Riviera, the Amalfi Coast, the Balearic Islands, the African Coast and the Caribbean.
