Pursuing a degree in Fine Art Painting at the Slade. Natasha, with brush and canvas, sought to capture the essence of the world as she perceived it Each brush stroke was filled with passion, but an inner voice whispered that something was amiss. Fate intervened, offering her a scholarship trip to New York City. The sprawling Soho loft of Jessica Rose, a renowned jeweler, beckoned her. Natasha's fingers danced over tools and gems, and she realized she had found her true medium. By 1997, canvases were replaced by gemstones, and friends and admirers lined up, seeking a piece of Natasha's newfound artistry.<br><br> However, the hustle of New York and the nostalgia of London were merely precursors to Natasha's spiritual and creative home; in 2009, the siren call of Ibiza beckoned. While many associate Ibiza with vibrant nightlife, beyond the hustle and the music, lies a serene world where the blue of the sky and sea merge in a mesmerizing dance. Natasha found herself setting roots in the village of Sant Miquel, drawing inspiration from its breathtaking vistas.<br><br> Her designs, reflections of Ibiza’s stunning landscapes and shimmering sunlight, are unique masterpieces. They are a blend of nature's random beauty and Natasha's artistic vision. Her signature irregular, hand-melted, 18ct gold nuggets, interlaced with diamonds, rubies, and other gems, shimmered like the Ibiza sun reflecting off the Mediterranean. Each piece, asymmetrical and unique, was a chapter of an evolving story. The idea is that her jewelry can be layered, stacked, and combined to tell a story that evolves over time. You could begin with a single ring, and over the years, mark special occasions with complementary pieces, each a chapter in a never-ending tale of love, growth, and memories.<br><br> Tucked away in a historic 300-year-old building, with its timeworn beams and stone floors, was Natasha's studio-showroom sanctuary. Here, she challenges the conventional tenets of jewelry making, shaping gold while it's hot, similar to a Murano glass blower working magic on molten glass. With no formal training to confine her imagination, she works with the freedom to create without boundaries.<br><br> Indeed, for anyone fortunate enough to wear a Natasha Collis piece, they're not just wearing jewelry. They're wearing a piece of Ibiza, a piece of art, and a piece of Natasha's heart and soul.
