Tara Jewelry started out as a Facebook page and by holding regular exhibitions. However, Tara Jewelry collections will now be available in Manyavar outlets in Dhanmondi, Gulshan and Banani.
Preferring quality over quantity, Tara Jewelry stocks a limited number of each of their items, as most of the pieces are limited edition productions. However, Tara Jewelry will endeavour to deliver a sold-out design to your doorstep upon request. To ensure delivery to the client, Tara Jewelry encourages pre-booking or online ordering of a preferred design, as well as a reasonable delivery time.
They also feature quite a wide range of items. The mid-range items start at Tk.800, but the high-end items start at Tk.4,500 and can go up quite high depending on the design, weight of silver, and stones used. Limited numbers of famous, high-end Indian jewellery designer pieces are also available, or can be procured upon request.
Visit www.facebook.com/tara.jewelry for their collection and other information. You can also email: [email protected]. To view their collection up front, visit your nearest Manyavar outlet to avail Tara Jewellery pieces.
