Lovetatum™ Jewelry was established in the summer of 2006. However, I have been designing and making jewelry
since I can remember. I began selling to the local high-end boutiques in my hometown of Point Pleasant, New Jersey and later
developed my jewelry in to a full-time business. I found that there is a high demand for my unique style of jewelry. It expresses
my point of view as a young artist who is ahead of the trends, while the sheer quality appeals to a wide range of clientele.
I am based out of La Jolla, California and find that I draw my inspiration form international beach life, and translate it
into pieces for any and every occasion. I use a combination of corals from the Caribbean, briolettes from India and China,
and hand-carved stone pendants from Hong Kong and Bali, just to name a few. My unique pieces are handmade with
sterling silver, 24kt gold and gold overlay chains, adorned with rare semi-precious stones and pearls from all over the world.
To me, it is important that my jewelry express something personal and individual. Every man and woman who wears
Lovetatum™ should feel that his/her piece is special. My philosophy has always been to inspire creativity
and promote positive energy in the world, and I will continue to reach and enrich…

Real gems preserved in 24kt gold?
The beauty of this process is that each piece of jewelry is made from a real stone so no two are alike.
The process is called electroforming. We take a hand-picked real stone and hand paint the surface with a copper-based paint.
Once the natural surface is coated with the copper metal we are able to dip the base into a solution of 24kt gold
or other specialized metal finishes such as Silver, Pink Copper, Iridescent Copper, Black, Cobalt Blue on Black,
Rainbow Iridescent Copper, Antique Copper, Antique Silver, Antique Brass, Antique Gold and Green
Copper Patina. The result is a beautiful stone that is preserved in pure 24kt gold or other finishes.
Each stone is a unique handcrafted piece of wearable art. They go hand-in-hand with our gold
overlay chains, which are manufactured to produce the finest alternative to solid 14kt jewelry.

our 24kt electro-formed gold collection
fuses two metals together and creates an heirloom quality end result. We start with a base metal of brass and hand paint
24kt Gold; then we dip the gemstone or real plant life into a solution that quickly expands the gold, creating a pure 24kt gold piece.
