introducing oceana: wearing the wisdom of the water with ocean-inspired jewelry

our new oceana collection draws on the wisdom of the ocean, celebrating the balance of strength and softness that it embodies. we created this collection to celebrate the invigorating energy that can be drawn from the crashing of the waves, the soft, healing power of water— and the deep wisdom of the seas.


collection themes: the wisdom of water 


whenever we may feel lost at sea, we can always trust the wisdom of the water: ebb, flow, rise, heal. there is no force that can contain the ocean, and so too can you flow over and around any obstacle. 


collection themes: fluid, soft, and strong 


we are all made of water, and so the ocean reminds us that we are all connected. like the fine glitter of sea mist and the endless crashing of the waves, we contain equal measures of strength and softness deep in our cells.


water is fluid, soft, and yielding— but water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield. as a rule, whatever is fluid, soft, and yielding will overcome whatever is rigid and hard. this is another paradox: what is soft is strong. — lao tzu


gold charms cast from real seashells 


the ethically-sourced, recycled gold shell charms found in the oceana shell necklace, the wisdom of water necklace, and the shorekeeper necklace were in fact cast from real shells found by our lead designer earlier this year, on a beach in the dominican republic.


handcrafted jewelry made locally with love


the bar chain on our oceana shell necklace was handcrafted by local artisans specifically for the creation of this necklace— embodying strength in its delicate design, this piece is irreplaceable and unique.


each hand-strung gemstone bead holds hidden meanings


our three cord bracelets are adorned with an array of hand-carved natural gemstone beads, each with its own meaning and significance.

the motion of the ocean; roll with the waves

our blue lagoon montana sapphire stacking rings are set on an angle to denote the movement and flow of the waves. with a pear sapphire to represent a droplet containing the whole ocean, and a baguette sapphire to signify the strength found in the currents, these rings remind us to channel the energy and wisdom of the water in our daily lives.


the world’s your oyster

the pearl of transformation stacking ring was added to the collection to embody the creative powers that live within us all— even those who don’t consider themselves particularly creative. just as the oyster creates beauty from a single grain of sand, we all have the strength and the softness needed to create, transform, and beautify any aspect of our lives.
