EARRINGS & TAM

Tamara’s Mother left Sri Lanka for finishing school in England. She learnt the traditional skills deemed requirements for a young woman; baking, dressing and arranging flowers. It was the flower arranging classes that genuinely engaged her and on returning to Colombo she opened a shop. ‘Blossoms’ survives today. Her success as a florist allowed her to travel extensively and have jewellery made after her own designs. Tamara inherited her Mother’s diamond and gold earrings and her Mother’s talent, today she works as a professional jeweller in London.
