OUR MISSION
Our mission has always been to create pieces that look high end, yet are inexpensive. To design contemporary, wearable, great quality jewellery and gifts, perfectly packaged, at a price you'll love. Our commitment is to be aspirational and affordable.
THE BEGINNING
"Hi there, I am Collette an original founder of Orelia, a brand created out of a need for contemporary jewellery that looks high end yet is inexpensive, is great quality and created with a fine hand. Back in 2008 you could only get high street jewellery, chunky, bright yellow and extremely poor quality, or super expensive under counter jewellery. I wanted jewellery to wear myself and also to give as a gift that wouldn’t cost a fortune. And so Orelia was created!"
THE TEAM
We are a small highly passionate team with Collette, an original founder of Orelia, at the heart of the brand directing the vision. The brand began back in 2008 after realising there was a real need for jewellery that looked beautiful, of great quality at a price that is affordable.
THE PLACE
Based in Brighton, we love where we are on the South Coast, you may notice a nod to our home town in the branding!
THE PLANET
Being affordable doesn’t mean we are not serious about our impact on the earth, we are on a mission to make Orelia a more sustainable brand, making conscious decisions to reduce our impact. We don’t have all the answers right now, but are committed to being transparent and will keep making changes until every part of our business is as environmentally friendly as we can make it.
THE DESIGN
Inspiration comes from everywhere, travel, nature, vintage finds and current trends. Moodboards are created and stories bought to life. Reflecting current colour and design trends, we use beautiful plating, semi-precious stones and interesting metal textures to create our collections. Every piece of Orelia is designed in house at our Brighton office.
