Our story

It all began by chance when Sam and Herbie's worlds collided in Australia during an extended holiday. Sam then carved a symbolic sentimental necklace out of wood and gifted it to Herbie as a talisman of that unique encounter. That's when the creative couple, partners in life and in business, began to travel the world for 5 years perfecting their aesthetic and creating handcrafted design objects, always guided by the wisdom of nature. In 2020, there was a visceral desire to create emotional jewelry through an intuitive artisanal process that reflects organic forms and textures. Tale Thoughts was born in Sri Lanka, in the workshop/store established between the Indian Ocean and the tropical forest. Now based in Florianópolis, the authentic brand reconnects with the bossa nova and brazilian identity. Each special piece of jewellery is Gold Vermeil - it is hand made in 925 sterling silver with a 10 micron overlay of 18k gold and it takes an average of 240 minutes in the hands of the goldsmiths Sam & Herbie, a creative process that follows the slow movement.
