SHEL’S STORY OF THE KO’A …

“For decades, bringing awareness to coral restoration through my jewelry has been a goal of mine. As I’ve been raising children, it’s developed into so much more purpose than just restoring coral.”

The KOA necklace tells a story of an ocean that needs our help.

Each coral piece, an exact copy of our oceans coral branches, shimmers with opalescent flecks that mimic the opalescence of all things magic in our ocean!

The diamond evil eyed fish swims among the coral, representing a shield, reflecting ill will back to those knowingly harming the sea.

The Hawaiian conch shell, the pū, represents the beginning of new beginnings, a call to action, and a way to communicate with the gods and ancestors.

The heart is a symbol of humankind on earth, representing the possibility of our harmonious coexistence with the sea.

Mother Nature is constantly reminding us how small we are, yet we continue to hurt it with our chemicals, abuse, overconsumption, and inhumanity.

“Creating wearable art that expresses my dreams for a better world gives me purpose and fills my cup.“
