Our Story
TARBAY Background
The sisters Marta and Ana Sofia Tarbay are the founders of TARBAY. They grew up on the Island of Margarita, always in contact with nature and the sea. Since they were little, their parents encouraged them to appreciate art and travel, which helped them develop a sense of style at a very young age. In 2002, the brand TARBAY was born as a way to express both their passion for precious stones, inherited from their grandparents, and their love for the island that watched them grow up.
They believe in the importance of helping all the communities that support the growth of TARBAY. Throughout the years, they have relied on a group of women on the island of Margarita to meticulously handcraft each piece of jewelry.
At TARBAY, we emphasize the artistic development of new designers, and by collaborating with fresh talent, we aim to expand the brand's reach to new frontiers around the world.
Our Philosophy
At TARBAY, we create pieces inspired by women around the world by designing jewelry ornaments in a way that helps us find our balance and reflect the best of our essence while wearing these pieces.
Through our unique and limited edition collections of jewelry, bags and shoes, we tell the story of our followers and their life experiences inspired by art, literature, poetry, family, friends, personal growth, philanthropy and even dreams.
Our jewelry is handmade with skilled craftsmanship that brings out the art value and exclusivity. Made with the most precious gemstones found around the world and our signature element, pearls, brought from the island of Margarita. This along with our conceptual bags, filled with details and our very feminine shoe brand, designed with comfort in mind with handcrafted natural leather.
At TARBAY, we are developing an alternative approach to traditional jewelry, combining precious gemstones and laminated metals to create handcrafted pieces that are unique, versatile, affordable and universal in character. This philosophy has given us the opportunity to expand our product lines to include shoes and handbags. Women from all over the world are the inspiration behind each of our pieces. We want our followers to connect with us through their hearts and feel a sense of well-being every time they wear one of our products.
