ABOUT




The art of design is crafted internally before being externalized. There is a vision of realization that allows hands to mend together a form of expression that can be translated from the mind to the heart with an ability to transform the spirit of another. The blueprint of an image that is formed internally inside of an individual is a process of visually painting a portrait from a sculpture before the literature of printing or creating the art of expression. Understanding the purpose of artifacts that entice humankind, Stella Simona created the jewelry line “Haati Chai” utilizing not only technique & style but a unique vision of sophistication. With a commitment to adorn consumers with jewelry that makes a statement of bold individuality, Stella Simona’s designs are “rooted from Indian culture.” Representing the art of design as a form of expression that is creatively awakening, she blends culture with elegant designs that cannot simply be defined as jewelry.

“Haati Chai” literally meaning “elephant and tea” in Bengali was started March of 2011, in Los Angeles, California by designer Stella Simona. Finding a unique way to blend contemporary styles in jewelry making with jewelry making techniques and styles from India; Haati Chai creates a uniquely magical combination of “on trend” pieces rooted from her East Indian culture. It is not glaringly obvious in all the pieces, but you can tell that it is something different, special, and unique. This jewelry brand not only has the “usual” earrings, rings, necklaces and bracelets expected to encompass any jewelry line, but it boasts anklets, body chains, head pieces, nose rings, men’s jewelry and Indian trinkets. "I want everyone to explore different concepts, your jewelry reflects your mood, personality. It is you, it tells your story. A lot of people are afraid to explore their options when accessorizing. I want Haati Chai to give you a new perspective."The pieces are executed with care, elegance, and craftsmanship. The aesthetic combines exotic old world concepts with new contemporary trends.

The pieces are simplistic yet there are some incredible architectural elements and the use of stones, wood, aluminum and other organic materials give it an earthy “grounded” feel. With collections for men and women, Stella and her team, design and hand craft all the Haati Chai pieces. And for the items they don’t make themselves, special craftsmen in India bring their designs to life. Haati Chai jewelry is for anyone that considers themselves trendy, fashionable, or just wants a beautiful one of a kind piece of jewelry. This is the kind of jewelry that people stop you on the street and ask you about. The pieces truly are conversation starters.

At just two years old Haati Chai is sold at select, high-end stores and boutiques around the world and continues to inspire & innovate every individuals definition of style.
