We founded Maitea in September 2023,

starting our journey by selling at flea markets in Berlin. This gave us tons of feedback on our first products and showed us which materials, styles and closures are most practical and loved by customers. And we used this knowledge to improve our designs, creating the highest quality products that you’ll find in our online store today.

While we've got everything set up for you to shop your favorite Maitea pieces online, we get it if you're more of an in-person kind of person. We're still at Berlin flea markets every weekend, so come by to try on all the rings you can get your hands on - and chat to our team about everything from materials to jewelry care to what designs you’d love to see from us next. Check our Instagram for details on which flea markets we're at this week.

Hi, I'm Julika. The first thing you've probably already noticed about me is my (lack of) hair. If you're wondering why that is, I'm glad - curiosity is way better than avoiding asking difficult questions :) At nine years old, I started losing my hair due to Alopecia Areata.

You may well not have heard of this illness - there's a big lack of awareness and fundraising - but let's just say, fitting in as a teenager was hard. But honestly, having Alopecia has become my superpower. I learned from a really young age that self-confidence should come from within. And I often find myself looking out for people who feel lonely or misunderstood, like I've felt so many times.

After feeling stifled by a competitive and structured university design course, I decided to continue my design journey on my own terms. Co-founding Maitea has combined my passion for jewelry design with my experience in UX/UI design and is basically one big creative project that I love spending all my time on.

Hey, I'm Mayar and in my free time, I like to jump out of planes. Say whaaaat? Yup, never mind football or hockey, the sport I'm obsessed with is skydiving. I grew up with a passion for dance and performing - and once I discovered bodyflight (the turns you can do as you're plummeting through the air) I started dancing in the sky instead of on the ground.

Before moving to Berlin, I lived in Sweden for eight years, working for charities including The Red Cross, Amnesty International and Doctors Without Borders. I'm originally from Syria and thanks to this background, I've always felt strongly about spreading awareness on global issues and making a meaningful impact through charity work.

When creating Maitea, I knew that fundraising for worthwhile charities had to be a part of our mission - and I'm so stoked we're growing a community who are as passionate about this as I am.

Alright, enough about us! We want to know what your dream earrings look like, whether you prefer a whole stack of rings or a statement necklace and if you're a gold, silver or mix-of-the-two kind of person... Or, you know, just say hi. We'd love to hear from you.
