Can’t find the one?
Made for salt water and sand, this beach jewelry gathers cowrie and puka shell necklaces, shell anklets, hand chains, sunrise shell pieces, and small threader earrings. Each is handmade on the North Shore of Oʻahu in 14k gold-filled or sterling silver, with shells I gather in the same waters.
Every shell is natural, so no two pieces match in color or shape. A freshwater rinse after the ocean keeps them at their best.
For pieces made to handle the water most, see the waterproof jewelry.
Made for the water
I dive for my shells and I'm in the ocean more days than not, so I wear my own pieces in salt water all the time. 14k gold-filled and sterling silver are made to be worn in the water, natural shells are waterproof, and pearls can get wet for a short time. Rinse in fresh water after, and skip the chlorine.

Questions
Can I wear beach jewelry in the ocean?
Yes, with a little care. 14k gold-filled and sterling silver handle salt water well, and I wear my own pieces in the ocean. Shells and pearls are natural, so rinse everything in fresh water after a swim, pat it dry and store it safely. I don't recommend wearing any piece in the water nonstop.
Are the shells real?
Yes. I handpick every shell myself while shell diving on Oʻahu. Because they're natural, color, pattern and shape vary from piece to piece, and that's part of what makes each one unique. You can read about each type in my Hawaiian Shell Guide.
How fast will my order ship?
Ready-to-ship pieces go out in 1–3 business days. Shipping is calculated at checkout, by USPS across the US and internationally. If you're in Hawaiʻi, you can choose complimentary pickup near Sunset Beach on the North Shore of Oʻahu, by appointment.
