our brand
At Tariq Riaz, we believe that jewelry should be more than just an accessory—it should be an extension of your unique story. Our brand was founded with a vision to reimagine how jewelry interacts with the wearer, blending art, technology, and craftsmanship to create pieces that transcend traditional boundaries.
Our journey
Tariq Riaz’s story begins far from the glittering world of diamonds and precious metals.
It all started from solving a problem.
When Tariq’s wife was pregnant with their first daughter, she complained that her engagement ring had become uncomfortable. Her body was changing with her pregnancy, and she often had to take her engagement ring off because her fingers were swollen. She noted she’d always had to remove her ring before getting on flights. Tariq immediately went on a quest to solve this, believing that the sanctity of the ring’s symbolism was worthy of his consideration. His wife refused, telling him that her fingers would return to normal after the baby was born, to which Tariq said he would just get it resized again. He had no jewelry experience, so his wife said, “You can’t just size it up and then size it back down, and again, etc.; it’s bad for the ring.”
It seemed there was no perfect solution. Little did he know this seemingly ordinary situation experienced by couples everywhere would ignite a passion that would change his life.
our philosophy
The Intersection of Art and Mechanics
The jewelry of American designer Tariq Riaz sits at the meeting place of art and mechanics. Movement is captured in a single moment. Culture and science dance together to tell stories inspired by nature, by culture, and by the people who wear his work. Tariq Riaz’s jewelry is both beautiful and uncommonly wearable. Ingeniously designed mechanisms using proprietary stretch technology are at the heart of Tariq’s AbrazoFIT™ philosophy: design that ensures jewelry fits perfectly, moves with your body, now and for a lifetime.
His atelier is a place for experimentation and play, a place to celebrate the possibilities of beauty and science. Using the earth’s finest materials and supported by a team of skilled craftsmen using state-of-the-art technology, Tariq designs and creates unique pieces to be collected, worn and loved for generations.
His innovative designs, such as rings that expand up to five sizes without alteration, have earned him numerous awards, including the Cindy Edelstein Memorial Emerging Designer Award, JCK Best of the Best Jeweler’s Choice Award, Manufacturing Honors in the American Gem Trade Association Spectrum Awards and the President’s Trophy Award of the Cultured Pearl Association of America.
AbrazoFIT ™: A PHILOSOPHY OF MOVEMENT
In tango it is the embrace — the abrazo — that connects the dancers. It is the source for all movements. Before the flourish, before the gesture, before any adornment, before any step the dancers take, the abrazo is at the core of their dance.
We have brought this philosophy to our work, creating jewelry that embraces the wearer, fitting perfectly, comfortably, following every move they make. This is the AbrazoFIT ™ ingenious designs that make our jewelry both spectacular and wearable.
