Material with a past.
Made to carry forward.

Every material on this island has already lived a life.

Plastic pulled from shorelines. Fragments left behind by weather, tourism, industry. Most of it gets thrown out twice. Once by whoever used it, once by whoever cleaned it up.

We take it before the second throw.

Then we shape it into jewelry on Maui. By hand. One piece at a time.

The material is sourced here. The work happens here. The people who make it live here.

This is not jewelry designed on a laptop and sent overseas to be manufactured. The island is in the material and the labor.

That matters more here than most places.

After the wildfires, thousands of people on Maui were displaced. For Native Hawaiian families, displacement doesn't just mean losing a house. It means losing the place your family has been for generations, and being priced out of ever coming back.

The Kānaka Anti-Displacement Fund works to keep those families in their communities.

Every piece we sell sends 5% of net profits to the fund. We publish the dollar amount every quarter.

Jellyfish Earrings

Shaped from recycled plastic sourced on Maui. Each pair is slightly different because the material is different: color shifts, texture variations, the marks of a previous life still visible.

Light enough to wear every day. Distinct enough to start a conversation.

Why $225 for recycled plastic?

Plastic is easy to find. That's why this matters. We collect it, clean it, shape it by hand, finish each piece, and turn something disposable into something you can wear for years. Every piece carries real work, proof of where it came from, and a donation to the Kānaka Fund. Make it cheaper, and something real has to go.

Is 5% meaningful?

It's not a big number. We'd rather be honest about that than inflate it. It goes to one named fund doing specific work, we report the amount publicly, and as revenue grows, the dollars grow. We chose a percentage we can sustain from the first sale.

Will there be other drops?

Yes. Each one uses a different reclaimed material from Maui.
