Meet Talisman Unlimited
Founded by Lisa Ruskin and Michael Pitkow, Talisman Unlimited began in the spring of 1988. Michael and Lisa are not only business partners; they are also husband and wife.
After they married, Lisa bought some antique silver charms and beads at a fashion market in New York and designed her very own pin. Soon retail buyers were admiring the jewelry design and expressing interest in purchasing from Lisa and Michael. That same year, Michael gave Lisa a box filled with beads and silver charms – and with that, the designing began.
During Talisman Unlimited’s first year more than 600 original, one of a kind pieces were sold. Now, fifteen years and 42 collections later, the Talisman Unlimited designs are found in the finest boutiques, jewelry and specialty stores across America. Each collection includes brilliant bead and gem colors, rare pearls, round and fancy diamonds, often mixed with 18k yellow gold.
Talisman Unlimited is now found alongside top jewelry designers worldwide. These unique designs, including several one-of-a-kind pieces, often made with white and cognac diamonds and exotic South Sea and Tahitian pearls, now foretell the jewelry trends that gain attention and praise from fine retailers and fashion editors.
“We feel a profound sense of commitment: to the work, our customers, and excellence. The goal always is to inspire, and create timeless treasures evoking the strong rhapsodic response that true beauty conjures, in both the heart and spirit.”
The two designers find inspiration for their collections through each other, along with travel, tribal and nomadic designs, patterns in nature “and the majesty and splendor of starry desert skies and ocean oases.”
Priding their creativity for jewelry “as a never-ending exploration of the essence of ageless design,” they categorize their designs as classic, bohemian, boldly modern, utterly feminine and of the moment.
A little something for every Delamina woman.
