Kura Tida (Pronounce Kura Tee-da) means the woman of space, time, and stars in Warao - an
indigenous language from South America. The brand name celebrates the founder’s roots, empowers women, and guide their creativity. Each design is handcrafted using the ancient lost-wax method; each piece is cast by hand with the intent of creating pieces that seamlessly blend into your everyday rotation but with a contemporary urban and versatile twist. 

Kura Tida’s designs are elegant, versatile, and bold. The hope is that each piece can be worn to enhance any look, from day to night, and become part of your expression and narrative. Let Kura Tida make you something you'll love for a lifetime. 

My name is Carla Verenzuela, I am the designer behind Kura Tida. I am a jewelry artist born in California and raised in Venezuela. For as long as I can remember, I have been a maker and obsessed with small shapes; I started working with beads at an early age and have worked with metal since I was 18 years old. From the moment I came across contemporary jewelry, I was hooked forever; for me, it's a transformative channel of energy. 

I am a lover of texture and a self-proclaimed “anti-minimalist.” My style is a juxtaposition of techniques, shapes, and colors inspired by the majestic forms of art and nature, looking to retain a raw elegance that can complement your look for every occasion.

I find inspiration in the fibers, the textures, the volumes, the colors of natural and manmade materials and seek ways to blend those ideas in combinations that showcase their unique identity through small-scale objects that can be worn. 

I founded Kura Tida to celebrate this passion I have, to make jewelry that can be worn every day and easily not take off for weeks at a time. I hope that each piece becomes part of your expression and narrative.
