Tendenza Review

I first stumbled upon Tendenza when walking around with visiting friends and I have made many trips back to the store since. The owners, Zichrini and Oren make you feel so welcome, as does the fact that everything in the store is one of a kind and customizable.

The very first time we stepped inside, I fell in love with the leather wrap bracelets. They have many in the shop, but they also will do custom engraving on any of the available colors of gold (rose, green oxidized, yellow, white...) and are happy to mix and match the leather strap with your favorite plate shape. I bought one immediately and still wear it, refusing to get the leather replaced (for free) quite yet.

My friend K was immediately drawn to the engrave-able pendants and quickly created a necklace as we all stood around playing with different combinations of colors, chains, and charms. I have since been back to pick up a few rings and the last time I was there over the summer, I decided that I absolutely can't live without the shark tooth pendant that they had just created. Z and Oren are amazing and their care and devotion to creating beautiful and unique jewelry is evident in every piece. Make sure to start a conversation with them if you go.
