About La Tarifa
La Tarifa is a bead and jewellery shop with its own atelier in the centre of Hilversum, the Netherlands. We offer an extensive collection of gemstone beads, Miyuki beads, jewellery and jewellery-making supplies, alongside distinctive home accessories and gifts.
Our shop is inspired by Tarifa, the surf and bohemian town in southern Spain where history, nature, beauty and a relaxed atmosphere come together. This became the inspiration behind La Tarifa: colourful, creative, personal and a little bohemian.
Beads, Jewellery & Our Own Atelier
La Tarifa is more than just a shop. In our atelier, we create jewellery for our own collection, carry out jewellery repairs and make personal custom orders. We also host jewellery-making workshops and offer ear piercing.
For anyone who loves making jewellery, we offer a very extensive selection of materials. Discover natural gemstone beads and Miyuki glass beads alongside charms, wire, clasps, jewellery components and tools.
Bought your materials in our shop and want to get started straight away? You’re welcome to use our large atelier table to create your jewellery independently with the materials you have purchased in store. Basic jewellery-making tools are available for you to use, so you can combine colours and materials and create your design on the spot. The atelier table is available when it is not being used for a workshop or another atelier activity.
Our jewellery collection includes pieces in materials such as 925 sterling silver, gold vermeil, gold plated and stainless steel. Part of our collection is made by us, alongside jewellery from a selection of brands and makers.
Our Shop in Hilversum
You’ll find La Tarifa at Wagenmakersplein in the centre of Hilversum, the Netherlands. Our physical shop is open 7 days a week.
One of the distinctive features of our shop is our collection of old printer’s type cabinets. The many drawers that were once used to store printing type are now filled with beads, charms and jewellery components. You’re welcome to explore the drawers yourself, compare materials and discover new combinations.
You can also see our gemstones, Miyuki beads, jewellery and other materials in person. If you have a question about a material, size, colour or technique, our team will be happy to help.
We believe a visit to La Tarifa should be about more than shopping. Exploring the old type cabinets, combining materials, creating something at our atelier table and discovering new ideas along the way are all part of the creative and relaxed La Tarifa vibe.
