“Jewellery is a boundless form of expression, a means to explore ideas that trigger thought and capture the imagination. A passion for nature evoked by my childhood in Africa, my fascination for history, mythology and astronomy and my curiosity about the expansive mystery of the Cosmos inspire me to seek knowledge and create for Ortaea.”
Each person has their path to tread, innate and created belief systems, challenges and responsibilities. Every time we marvel at an image of the starry expanse of the night’s sky, hear a story of the power of sheer will or feel awakened to possibility we are enlivened by something that transcends us, we feel alive and powerful. It is a resonance with this state of being that we seek to evoke.
We tell stories through design and ignite a wonder for the magical and mystical Universe as our creations take you through time, lands, perspectives and the wonders of the natural world. It is this that inspires us and leads us to believe in abundance and the boundless nature of creation.
Social Responsibility
There are places on Earth where a part of you remains deeply connected. For owners Mita and Pravir Vohra, this is Africa. As a trustee of the Sandy Vohra Foundation Mita has gained an insight into the deep social issues haunting Kenya, many of which are mirrored in other African countries. Politics also plays its part as its does worldwide. There are times it is totally overwhelming and one questions what difference they can make, however ultimately every act and every person counts. We believe that every person you open a door for or help to empower has a ripple impact in a community and every tree you plant develops roots and brings a whole new energy.
Ethical Sourcing of gems and Social Responsibility are a core part of Ortaea ethos.
