What inspired you to start this jewellery brand ?
Virginie : After working in France as a lawyer , I moved to Bahrain trained in graphic design and I wanted to explore more my creative desires . At the same time I was also learning and teaching Yoga , and after another creative venture , I noticed there is nothing really yoga-related when it comes to jewellery . The jewellery items related to yoga were always chunky and stereotyped . I wanted to create delicate and precious pieces with a meaning but that you could wear even if you don ’ t practice yoga .
Why is it named Tiny Om ? Virginie : “ Ohm ”, in the yoga philosophy , is the first sound of the universe . It is the original vibration , and the idea is that when you wear a Tiny Om piece , you have this vibration with you all the time and that its a meaningful piece of jewellery and not just a piece of gold .
