The TERRA OMENS story
Founded in 2023, Terra Omens is the creation of husband-and-wife team Orly Nachmias and Shahaf Ben Porat. Our journey began with a shared love for nature and a passion for crafting unique, meaningful jewelry.
Living in a small village with our two beloved dogs, we find inspiration in the world around us. Whether we're rock climbing, skiing, participating in dog sports, or simply enjoying the serenity of the outdoors, nature is at the core of everything we do. These experiences directly influence our jewelry designs, infusing each piece with the essence of the natural world.
At Terra Omens, we believe in creating jewelry that not only beautifies but also connects wearers to the earth. Our process involves creating and polishing pieces that reflect the raw beauty of our outdoor adventures. Each design is a testament to the peace and tranquility we find in nature.
We are committed to ethical and sustainable practices. This includes adhering to ethical mining regulations, using sustainable packaging, and maintaining a zero-waste policy in our production process. Our goal is to create beautiful jewelry that respects and preserves the environment we so deeply cherish.
Terra Omens is more than just a jewelry brand; it's an extension of our lifestyle and values. We invite you to join us on this journey, wearing pieces that are as unique and beautiful as the natural world that inspires them.
From Nature to Adornment
At Terra Omens, our jewelry creation is a journey that mirrors the very essence of nature – a process of transformation, growth, and refinement.
We begin by selecting gems that resonate with the theme of each collection, much like a hiker choosing a trail that speaks to their spirit. These precious stones become the heart of our designs, carrying the energy and beauty of the earth.
A fusion of memory and innovation
We use advanced AI-based design tools to experiment with ideas born from our outdoor adventures. Like the way a gentle stream shapes stones over time, we let our experiences in nature guide our creative flow.
Shahaf's expertise comes into play as he cuts and polishes the gems, revealing their hidden brilliance – much like how sunlight unveils the true colors of a forest canopy. Meanwhile, Orly begins the meticulous process of carving in wax, shaping our vision into tangible form.
For some designs, we harness the precision of 3D printing to create our models. This modern technique allows us to capture the intricate details of nature in our pieces, from the delicate veins of a leaf to the rugged texture of bark.
Raw to beauty
transforms our designs from wax to metal, reminiscent of how intense pressure over time creates precious gems deep within the earth. We then set the stones, often creating custom bezels that embrace each gem as uniquely as a tree's roots wrap around a boulder.
The final stages of polishing and finishing are like the gentle erosion that smooths river rocks – each careful touch enhancing the natural beauty of the piece.
All the way to you
We package each creation in compostable materials, ensuring that our process comes full circle, returning to the earth just as the leaves fall to nourish the forest floor.
Every step of our process is infused with our respect for nature and commitment to sustainability. From the ethically sourced materials to our zero-waste policy, we strive to create pieces that not only adorn but also honor the natural world that inspires us.
At Terra Omens, we don't just make jewelry – we craft wearable stories of nature's beauty, resilience, and endless inspiration.
