Ouroboros Designs

Accessories – Los Angeles

My name\'s Tara Klingenstein and I\'m a silversmith and jewelry maker currently living in Los Angeles, CA. I graduated from both Flagler College and F.I.T. in NY and worked several jobs in the fashion industry until I decided to go back to school...jewelry school that is. I come from two artsy-fartsy parents so working with my hands was inevitable and I realized that my first hour in jewelry class. I was home! I lived in San Francisco while attending jewelry school and then came home to L.A. and started Ouroboros Designs immediately. Ouroboros Designs uses precious metals and gemstones and is heavily influenced by ancient symbols and mythology. Eventually I brought in Ouroboros Designs\' fashion jewelry sister line, W.I.L. by Ouroboros Designs. W.I.L. stands for \"What I Like\" and it gives me the excuse to have what I call \"design A.D.D.\" and to be all over the place with my ideas and really have little to no rhyme or reason for why I do what at any moment and to retire and move on from designs quickly.
