Born and raised in Estonia, nature is very important to Anneli. Estonian forests and bogs are reflected in each of her collections, even the most geometric ones. Noticing patterns is part of being human. Nature’s richness of pattern is the result of embracing the environment and fighting for survival, always trying to do more with less - tightest fit, shortest path, least energy expenditure. In her collections, she focuses on system and order: repetitions, tessellation and tight connections. This is how she creates his systemic world.

Anneli likes to experiment with new technologies and tries limits of the materials and techniques. She wants to find something new in every collection. In her work Anneli has focused to small
editions and modern 3D capabilities. She likes to use silver together with other materials. Anneli has special interest to grow from planar ornament in to three-dimensional sculptural jewellery.

Anneli Tammik has changed the face of jewellery design in Estonia, using the latest technology to introduce a new dimension to a field long classified as a mere ‘handicraft’.
