Shell anklet on a bare foot in clear shallow water in Hawaii
3 products

Handmade on the North Shore of Oʻahu in 14k gold-filled, these shell and pearl anklets pair freshwater pearls with Hawaiian shells I find while diving, from a single pearl at the clasp to mixed mini shells with gold charms.

Matching sets with half cowrie shells and turquoise or iolite are made to order. Each anklet is adjustable; exact lengths are listed with each piece, and fit is explained in the size guide.

Layer pearl with shell, or wear one alone. Sterling silver, Tahitian pearls, puka shells, or a different gemstone can be requested as a custom anklet.

Questions

What size anklet should I get?

As a guide, petite is 8 to 8.5 inches, standard is 9 to 9.5 inches and fits most, and large is 10 to 10.5 inches for a looser drape. Measure your ankle with a soft tape measure, add a little for a looser fit, and add a 1" or 2" extension if you need it.

Can I wear my anklet in the ocean?

The 14k gold-filled is made to be worn in the water, and shells are naturally waterproof, but pearls and shells need a freshwater rinse after swimming. Store it safely when you're not wearing it.

Do you make puka shell anklets?

Yes, as a custom order. Puka is one of the shells you can choose, and custom orders take 1–3 weeks (up to 6 for intricate pieces like bezel work).
