our roots

Founded in 2015, Found At Sea is an independent jewelry label born between the shores of South Africa and the islands of Indonesia - aimed at empowering fellow women of the sea, whilst exploring our inherent connection with sharks. Coexistence with the ocean lies at the heart of our brand.

What began with fossilized shark teeth collected on South African beaches soon evolved into custom pieces crafted for fellow divers after our return to Bali, Indonesia in 2016.

Our small passion project Found At Sea has since grown into a vibrant, global community of ocean lovers, united by a devotion to the sea and a commitment to protect it.

the birth of found at sea

Found At Sea Collective was born from the ocean 10 years ago, created by two best friends — a fisheries scientist devoted to shark conservation and an expedition guide who lives her life underwater. As daughters of the water, we began crafting fossilized shark tooth jewelry for ourselves, inspired by the incredible treasures we discovered along South Africa’s & Florida's shores. When our fellow divers started asking for custom pieces, what began as a personal passion grew into a brand embraced by the ocean community. A decade later, every handmade piece still carries the strength and mystery of ancient sharks, while also supporting conservation efforts to protect them.
