Nigora Tokhtabayeva, born in Uzbekistan and raised in the USA, has artfully blended her cultural heritage with modernist American sculpture to create a stunning collection of jewelry. While amulets have always been a part of her family tradition, Tokhtabayeva’s works delve deeper into the history of metaphysical protection, drawing inspiration from a wide range of human thought, including mythology, history, religion, philosophy, literature, and art.

In her Oera collection, Tokhtabayeva uses curving knots to bind the body, creating a soft and gentle embrace. The knot, a symbol of protection, wraps around fingers, encircles earlobes, and adorns necks and wrists, safeguarding its wearer.

Each Tabayer piece is crafted from ethically sourced materials, including fair-mined gold and conflict-free Kimberley-certified diamonds, ensuring that every piece is not only beautiful but also responsibly made.
