Description
A tiny hand-carved sea turtle in sterling silver, on a delicate sterling silver chain. She measures 10mm × 9mm — the kind of charm you wear close and notice often.
This design had been in my head for years. I finally got to swim with sea turtles in Kauai, and not long after, Naia came to life. Some pieces wait for the right moment.
Every piece in the Darya Collection starts in wax. I carved each charm by hand before casting it in silver, which means the texture and detail are mine from the start — not stamped, not manufactured.
The Story Behind the Collection
Darya is a Persian name meaning sea. Every piece in this collection starts in wax — hand carved, then cast in sterling silver. The charms are small by design. Tide pool small. The kind of thing you might find tucked in a crevice at low tide if you're paying attention.
Growing up on the coast of Maine, I spent a lot of time paying attention. Tide pools, rocky beaches, the particular quality of light on the water at different hours. The ocean has been my happy place for as long as I can remember, and this collection is the closest I know how to get to carrying it with me. Snorkeling, sea creatures, the textures of the shoreline — that's what these pieces are made from.
A portion of proceeds from this collection supports Surfrider Foundation.
