Inspired by the rough waters of life, female connection, comradery and Ama, the legendary Japanese Sea Women.

The origins of ama pearl divers are in ancient Japan, where these remarkable women played a vital role in the coastal communities that relied on the gifts of the sea—the practice of ama diving dates back over two thousand years.

In the early days, ama divers focused primarily on gathering food resources from the ocean, such as abalone, sea cucumbers, and seaweed. They also developed swimming and breath-holding abilities, allowing them to venture into the depths of the sea to collect these valuable resources. As their skill and confidence grew, they began exploring the underwater world for other treasures, including pearls. (source: sakura.co)
