Founders & their story<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supriya Donthi<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She has always been an avid nature lover and swears by a famous Einstein quote, \u201cLook deep into nature and you will understand everything better.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her relentless love for the greenery around led to the making of this brand that has the perfect blend of aesthetics, fashion, nature, magic, and mystical stories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With no professional experience in the art of jewellery manufacturing, Supriya required a great deal of study and learning, from acquiring the proper materials and scoping out various vendors to eventually beginning production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
