About the Designer,
The concept of tag the world would be nothing without the amazing talent of the exclusive jewelry designer, Michael Barin. Robert Parks-Valletta came to him with a vision, and from that vision Michael and Robert sat down and sketched concepts for each tag. We wanted to give you a unique look at the process of this design. These are some of the original sketches that were created.
Cancer tag
When creating this tag we centered the crest, which will carry your engraved story. On Top we have wings watching over and guiding the ones who have cancer and below we have a beautiful bed of floral. To remember those we love who have passed.
Animal
This was an amazing idea by Micheal Barin; the concept was simple, but put into affect amazingly. He wanted to incorporate animals into the tag without immediately recognizing it. If you turn the tag sideways you will find a butterfly that represents the new life and joy animals bring to us.
Children tag
The children’s tag was Robert Parks Valletta’s original vision that he saw for Tag. He wanted wings wrapping around something protecting it much like you would want to protect your child, family member, or a child you hardly know. So as you look at the tag the crest is in the middle with wings wrapping all the way around it.
Green Tag
We wanted to create something that is as amazing as our planet sophisticated, simple, and beautiful. The green tag embodies this vision.
Africa
The Africa tag has a heart right over the crest. This crest represents the heart of Africa and the people that make this great nation so powerful. With all the struggles that the people of Africa go through each day, it only takes one person to make a difference.
This is an inside look at Micheal at work creating the handcrafted mold that each tag is made out of.
