About Us

Tarocollection was officially founded by Tola Awolesi otherwise known as Tolly in 2014 after realising there was a gap and demand in the market for her pieces. The name TARO was formed from her names.

She began a hobby but soon evolved into a known growing business. From 10 years of age she was that kid that makes bracelets for all her friends in school.  She always attended creative art after school clubs. As a teenager, she started altering and customising vintage Jewelry and beads, she finds about or from her mums old Jewelry box to suit her style.  She was always in her own world of jewelry making, thats when she realised she had an eye for detail, fashion and a real love for sparkly Jewelry.

Fast forward into adulthood, she studied Biomedical science and earned a degree in it, worked as a science technician but she wasn’t fulfilled. After the birth of her two children, she decided to follow her heart in the field she was internally drawn to, Tolly attended a Jewelry school to develop her skills and knowledge. After a few classes, she started making jewellery for herself and then people really loved it and would ask her to make for them!! Tolly does the work she does because she loves it. She loves the Jewelry industry and she is so passionate about jewelry designing.

Sparkly elements are used in a wide variety of her products like crystal, semi precious stones, fresh water pearls, gold and silver hypoallergenic metals.
Tarocollection pieces are inspired by vintage fashion, architecture, antique pieces with a focus of sparkle.
Tolly draws inspiration from her experiences and her perspective on the world at that moment.
