A professional portrait of Carlo and Mia Tonin, the founders of BY TONIN. Carlo, a smiling man with short blonde hair, sits in a chair wearing a dark blue button-down shirt with patterned cuffs. Mia, a smiling woman with long dark hair, stands behind him with her arms resting on his shoulders. She is wearing a white linen button-down shirt and denim jeans. The background is a simple, light gray wall.

Reflections on BY TONIN

We recently shared our story and reflections with Together Journal. In the interview, we talked about what inspired the brand, our approach to creation, and the careful, considered process behind each piece.

Some highlights from our conversation:

“Our vision is a reflection of our journey as a couple… jewellery has always been a way for us to mark meaningful moments and show care for the people we love.”

“We realised our most beautiful moments were the ones where we were truly present, and that’s the feeling we wanted BY TONIN to capture and celebrate.”

“We focus on essential forms so the pieces feel modern, timeless, and easy to wear every day, while leaving room for each person to make it their own.”

“Simplicity is what makes a piece timeless, but it’s the small, careful details that give it character. Our goal is for the jewellery to complement the person wearing it, without competing with them.”

“Even the small, everyday moments matter when you put thought and care into your work.”

We hope this interview offers a glimpse into the heart of BY TONIN. It’s a reflection of our journey, and the ways we hope our jewellery can accompany others in their own meaningful experiences.
