Let customers speak for us
from 1146 reviewsWas much quicker then I was expecting and is perfect, owner messages not only quickily to confirm your choice but also provides suggestions which helped me pick a more well balanced option. Very good quality on both necklace and engraving would definitely recommend

Looks and feels great. Helpful, attentive and fast service.

It's beautiful! I love it so much!

Exquisite craftsmanship! Very fast international shipping! Will return! Thank you!

Super fast delivery. Ordered yesterday and arrived today.
Love it. Perfect size. Love the detail.
Thank you.

Beautiful item, high quality! Even the packaging was very beautifully done!

Excellent craftsmanship every time! This is the 3rd piece I've ordered from their shop. Opted for a custom order this go around for something truly unique and one of a kind, well worth the wait! Thanks again for creating such a beautiful heirloom, my new every day necklace.

I love this pendant, and the size and craftsmanship is exceptional. I greatly appreciate the care and time in creating such a piece and would recommend this seller to anyone. Thank you for the fine pendant!

This is the second item I've bought from Marleena and it's just arrived, and it's absolutely beautiful. I can't praise her design skill, quality, and customer service highly enough. I ordered at the last minute and the pendant arrived incredibly quickly, with a few days to spare before the recipient's birthday. I've been so impressed by my purchases so far that I've already asked Marleena to start working on a design for a 21st birthday gift, and can't wait to see her ideas. I just know I'll be impressed by her talent when the design arrives. Thank you Marleena.

I've never met a craftsperson who's as meticulous in making sure a bespoke design is exactly what the buyer wants. They sent several variations of rune layouts for me to choose from, then took photos of the finished item before it was posted, and all within a few days of making the initial enquiry. My grandchild was thrilled to receive something they knew was made especially for them and wore it a couple of days later for an awards ceremony. I was so impressed by the quality and service that I'm just about to order another item from Taitaya.

A beautiful and exceptionally-crafted necklace that I will wear for years to come. This is my first purchase with Tatiana, but certainly will not be my last. Marleena's customer service was excellent. Thank you!

their work is always beautiful and well made... fast shipping and great communication round out the experience

love their items, and so do my friends that receive them . a favorite shop, communication could not be nicer or better

Love the craftsmanship of the pendant! Great quality overall!

This item was delivered very quickly, its a lovely thing, thank you

What we can do at Taitaya Forge
-
Silver Inlay
Using the ancient method of silver wire inlay, we can decorate iron, resulting in a beautiful contrast of iron and silver, back and white.
-
Custom engraving
Hand engraved with runes or an inscription, you can make your gift a little bit more special.
-
Forged Silver
Did you know we can forge silver the same way as we forge iron?
Because each piece is forged individually, no two are exactly alike.
