OUR STORY

TARTESIA is an exclusive Spanish jewellery brand. Inspired by the passion and elegance of our Spanish heritage, we craft beautiful contemporary jewellery with unique stories.

Selina Ashdown is TARTESIA’s director. Born in London, her heart was made in Spain. Selina has loved gems and jewellery ever since she was a child, and she read Chemistry at Oxford University with the intention of becoming a gemmologist. After a successful career in public relations and strategy consulting, she moved to Spain for love. Selina discovered the exquisite quality of artisan jewellery in southern Spain and wanted to share this beautiful craftsmanship with the rest of the world. Selina decided to follow her dreams and set up TARTESIA, an exclusive, contemporary jewellery brand with a Spanish soul and international appeal. 

 “TARTESIA jewellery is inspired by Spanish heritage, designed with passion, crafted with care, and worn with elegance to create a unique story behind every piece.”
