Ocean-Inspired Silver Jewelry Collection

This is my collection of handmade silver ocean jewelry, pieces I fabricate by hand in fine silver, Argentium sterling silver, and mixed metal, shaped after the waves and shorelines I have loved my whole life. Each one is a small talisman for anyone who feels most at peace beside the water.

I grew up on the beaches of South Florida. They were my refuge and my playground as a teenager, and to this day my favorite thing to do is walk the beach, listen to the calming force of the waves, and get lost in thought while I pick up shells. That is the feeling I try to hand into every piece here.

Made by hand, from sheet and wire

Each wave and shell starts as sheet and wire at my bench. I make my own silver too, melting fine silver with Argentium for a brighter, more tarnish-resistant metal than traditional sterling, and then every piece is stamped, sawed, filed, sanded, and soldered by my own hands, one at a time. I make them to be lived in, worn on real days by the water, sturdy through sand and salt air, yet so light you forget they are on.

What metal is Pure Whimsy ocean jewelry made from?

Most pieces are made from recycled fine silver and Argentium sterling silver, and a few pieces include real 14k gold. I make my own metal by melting fine silver together with Argentium, which is brighter and more tarnish-resistant than traditional sterling.

Are these pieces handmade?

Yes. I hand fabricate every piece from sheet metal and wire, hand stamping, sawing, filing, sanding, and soldering each one myself, one at a time, in my studio.

Will the silver tarnish?

Fine silver and Argentium sterling silver tarnish very little, even less than traditional sterling silver, and every order includes a Pro-Polish pad with simple instructions to keep your piece bright for years. Many pieces are also intentionally oxidized, which is a finish, not tarnish.

Does it arrive gift-ready?

Yes. Every order ships in a branded gift box with a handwritten note and a Pro-Polish pad, tucked into a hand-sewn jewelry bag or finished with a sticker, and sent via USPS Ground Advantage.
