OUR STORY
"Omena's" is the manifestation of Omena Apte's romance with beads and jewellery. Discover here, how a passion for making jewellery turned into a couture label.
​
​
Jewellery has always been my weakness. I believe that good jewellery makes a world of a difference to your personality.
​
Here's how it began....
​
I recollect walking down Linking Road in Mumbai and stopping by at the Swarovski store. I just couldn't get my eyes off a stunning Swarovski crystal necklace. The price was staggering! Totally unaffordable...but my heart was set on it.
​
Why not make it myself?
​
I was determined to do exactly that!
​
I took formal training. It was an absolute delight to learn the various styles and techniques in jewellery making. I was inspired to learn more..and create more..
​
Choosing the right medium for my creations was of primary importance. My intent was to make premium, unique and affordable jewellery.
That was a tall order!
Persistence yielded results and I was successful in procuring the raw material I desired.. branded Swarovski crystal and pearl, and semi-precious stones.
Exhibitions of my brand, "Omena's" were held in Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad and Bangalore. My happiness knew no bounds when I was invited to sell my creations through "The Lotus House", at the Mumbai International Airport, and
a saree brand,"Suta".
​
I am truly blessed that my passion has yielded beautiful results.
​
It is my endeavour to create
so that you can indulge!
