A Tale of Dreams
Our Story
Jennifer Fleites, the founder of Ptera, has always had a deep love for fashion and fairytales. In early 2022, she made the decisive choice to leave her engineering career and embark on a new journey to pursue her own happily ever after. This decision marked the beginning of an exciting new chapter called Ptera.
Ptera was born out of Jennifer's belief that one is never too old to embrace their inner princess.
"You’re never too old or too “grown up” to be a princess. For a long time, I focused on growing up and missed out on embracing the parts of myself that truly mattered. You’re never too old to put flowers in your hair and you’re never too old to play dress up with all the jewels you could wish for. That’s why I created Ptera - a brand that blends femininity and elegance with a playful, nostalgic touch, inspired by fairytales and the magic of happily ever afters."
Uniquely Angelic, Beautifully You.
Our Collection
At Ptera, every piece of jewelry is crafted from high-quality gold and silver, reflecting our commitment to excellence. But beyond quality, our creations are imbued with meaning.
Jennifer’s collection is inspired by nature and her late mother, who was by all means a real-life princess with a heart as beautiful as her soul. “I lost my mom when I was 16 and have associated nature, jewelry, and elegance with her ever since. My jewelry collection serves as a tribute to her memory, while also showcasing the intricate beauties of the land, sky, and sea.”
