Our Story
Nature has a way of Inspiring us all
Inspired Designs
The name, Terra | Mana, combines the latin word for Earth, Terra, with the concept of Mana, which is a Polynesian term that translates to the power of the elemental forces of nature embodied in an object or person.
Terra | Mana is a creative product of owner & designer, Ana Ash. Her deep regard for Mother Earth is the inspiration behind each and every piece she creates.
Ana is a self taught singer/songwriter and designer. Terra Mana is a brand focused on Ana’s jewelry and wall decor designs. She uses Nature’s finest elements in her designs, to create organic feel, earthy- bohemian style original pieces of art, whether gemstone rich jewelry, or Earth Element filled wall decor hangings.
A word from Ana;
Hello and thanks for stopping by!
Each piece I create is original, and designed & handcrafted with love, by me using a variety of earthy and natural materials. Some of my favorite materials and mediums to create with include- gemstones and crystals, wood slices, tree branches, feathers, leather, fiber, & plant pots. I draw so much inspiration from Nature and the many amazing mediums it provides.
All jewelry is created with hypo allergenic metal fixings (mostly stainless steel) for comfortable wear and durability. Any fixing metal that touches skin, will be quality metal.
All tree branches used for wall decor is collected in coastal Oregon, then treated before use. Feathers used in these designs come from the happy chickens and roosters from my sister’s farm. I make sure every material or medium used in my art is either from the Earth or not far from it.
Most all designs are one of a kind and small batch style.
‘ I live to create. I am yet to find something that just works for me in this life- more than ‘creating’. The ideas never run out and there is always a new design, just waiting to come to life! I am so thankful for anyone that shares my passion and love for Nature and chooses to support my art.
The Back Story
"Since as far back as I can remember, nothing spoke to me quite like the creative world. I quickly learned that this was where my passions and talents lie. Music and Art just came naturally to me like nothing else did.
After spending my youth, and many years as a young adult exploring a variety of artistic pursuits, I decided to focus my creative energy on jewelry design. So in 2013, I founded Earth Core Jewelry and hit the Colorado music festival scene with my product line.
In 2018, I decided to expand my offerings outside of the confines of jewelry and rebrand as Terra | Mana, now offering wall hangings and plant hangers. My lifelong love for interior styling & design was the inspiration for my wall decor line. I wanted to take the same Earthy mediums I use in jewelry such as gemstones, feathers & wood slices and add in even more mediums such as plant hangers and fiber- exercising my love for color palettes.
What Terra Mana has become today, is the culmination of a lifetime of creative endeavors and truly encompasses my artistry".
