CREATIVE DIRECTOR

About Tonya

The vision for Asymmetric by Design began in Egypt in 1978, where Tonya, the daughter of a Canadian diplomat, discovered her passion for antique beads and silver. Soon she became a collector of these unique time capsules and a student of their role in culture and history. She has lived all over the world and embarked on hundreds of journeys collecting treasures throughout the Middle East, South America, Asia, and Africa. Seeing firsthand the remarkable inequalities and the disproportionate impacts of climate change, she realized the importance of empowering women and artisans in the developing world and the urgent need to protect our planet. In launching this socially responsible and sustainable jewelry company, Tonya draws upon the rich history of beads. Dating back 100,000 years, they have preserved the stories of ancient civilizations, ethnic groups, and customs. By wearing one of Tonya’s one-of-a-kind pieces, every woman makes a profound statement about her identity, principles, and beliefs, expressing what she stands for and cares about.
