Our story

Hey, we’re Kris, Shahar, and Lauren, contemporary jewelry designers and proud owners of TAJ Studio.
At TAJ, we’re not just designing jewelry—we’re creating a whole vibe of creativity, collaboration, and a passion for perfect craftsmanship.
I’m Lauren, a goldsmith, designer, and photographer. I’ve always had an eye for detail, a love for aesthetics, and a desire to touch hearts through design. My dream was to build a brand that captures the beauty hidden in the small, meaningful moments of life. In my work, I aim to blend precision and a modern, unconventional style with the uniqueness of each piece.
Lucky for me, this dream became a reality thanks to two amazing partners who walk this journey with me. Each of us brings something unique to the team:
Kris is a masterful hand and a creative head, finding original solutions to every challenge. She’s a passionate goldsmith with a fresh approach to design, turning ideas into tangible dreams. I like to call her the architect of details. Every design she creates is nothing short of perfect. With a precise approach and a genuine love for our clients, she makes sure every piece tells a unique story.
Joining our crew is Shahar, Kris’s partner and our other collaborator. Shahar is a certified gemologist with a sharp eye for spotting flaws in stones and grading them. With experience in top diamond labs, he brings deep knowledge and unmatched professionalism.
Together, we set up our workshop, where our great love for jewelry begins and ends. That’s where we express our shared vision and create a fusion of classic and contemporary aesthetics, paying special attention to every detail and composition.
We’re a crew that dreams, creates, and makes it happen. Every piece we design isn’t just a product; it’s a testament to our collaboration, respect, and love for art and our clients.
We believe our journey is the inspiration behind every creation—our journey and our clients’, who bring their personal stories and turn them into jewelry that speaks for them.
We embody these values not just among ourselves but also with our clients, and we expect every relationship to be in the same spirit of support, trust, and creativity.
