About Us

We’re two sisters, born with salt in our hair and the rhythm of the ocean in our hearts. The sea is our sanctuary. When we’re not surfing its waves, we’re walking its shores or diving into its depths—collecting special shells, pukas, and inspiration for every piece we design.

What began as a shared hobby has grown into a labor of love: handcrafting jewelry that carries the spirit of the coast and the strength of sisterhood. Each piece reflects our deep connection to nature and to each other—made with intention, love, and sun-soaked energy.

Our jewelry often features shells and pukas—true ocean treasures shaped by time, tide, and journey. These pieces carry stories of resilience, erosion, and endurance. Every shell is chosen with care, with the intention of channeling strength, connection, and the quiet power of nature’s persistence.

Our days are split between chasing waves and creating with our hands. Every shell tells a story. Every gemstone holds a memory. And every piece we make is infused with the vibrant energy that drives us.

Whether you’re a wave-chaser, a soul-searcher, or simply someone who finds peace in the sea, we hope our jewelry becomes part of your story too.

With love and sea-sparked energy,
—The Sisters: Mayli and Ayla 

The Meaning Behind the Beauty of our collection

Each puka shell used in our jewelry once belonged to a larger shell living beneath the waves of the Pacific.

When its life in the sea comes to an end, the shell begins a new journey, carried by currents and worn smooth by coral, sand, and the tides. Over months and years, the ocean naturally carves a hole through the center, softening every edge until only the heart remains: a small, smooth disc shaped by nature’s hands.

We call our exclusive designs Infinity Full Moon and Infinity Half Moon, honoring the moon that influences our emotions, intuition, creativity, and the tides that help shape our jewelry.

We pair these shells with the infinity symbol to honor that journey. The curve of infinity represents time, resilience, and renewal. Just as the shell is shaped by the sea, we also shape each piece with care, finishing each one by hand to create jewelry that speaks to both strength and softness.

Our Jewelry is born from the sea, made with love, and designed to endure. Wear infinity, a story that never ends.

OUR TRUE STORY - How we started Our Shell Cone Collection  

We always loved the ocean, but one day while swimming in the Red Sea, something unforgettable happened.    One of the sisters saw out of nowhere, an octopus appeared. It wasn’t scared or hiding, just calm, curious, and gently reaching out. It climbed onto her hands and stayed there for a moment, as if it trusted her. Then it did something incredible: it gave her a shell. A small, shimmering gift from the sea.

Octopus Gift

She was speechless. It felt like a message, a moment of magic. So she searched the shore, found a smooth, pretty rock, and offered it in return.

That shell still lives in our treasure box, waiting to become our most special piece of jewelry. It’s the heart of our story—and the reason we began this journey.

Every piece we create is inspired by that moment: a deep connection with nature, a sense of wonder, and the belief that sometimes, the ocean gives you exactly what you need.
