One day, while collecting ocean plastic from the Norwegian coastline, we had an epiphany. And you may have guessed it, it involves ocean plastic and meaningful jewelry.
We frequently visit Huk and Groos beach in Norway, located near the cities Oslo and Grimstad respectively, to collect ocean plastic. On these beaches we found a lot of smaller pieces of plastic, as well as abandoned fishing gear. We noticed however that many of these smaller pieces of plastic were in all kinds of beautiful colors, and we thought they kind of looked like pearls.
That’s when it struck us – the idea to make meaningful jewelry with a purpose. From polluting ocean plastic to beautiful, meaningful necklaces and rings. By combining the ocean plastic with high-quality, hypoallergenic 925 sterling silver, we have handcrafted a necklace and ring for you that will be truly unique, long-lasting, and meaningful.
The process from collecting the microplastic on the beach to making the jewelry by hand is a long and tedious task. The end result however is worth it, as you end up with a one-of-a-kind necklace that no one else in the entire world will have. You support local artisans, marine life, and plastic collectors. What is not to like?
Below, you can learn how we make sterling silver jewelry with ocean plastic – from the beach cleanup to your hands.
Head to the beach and collect ocean plastic, and high five a seal on the way back.
When we get back from the beach, the next step is to clean the plastic thoroughly before we sort the microplastic based on color.
Epoxy resin is a special liquid material that that dries fast, so we now only have a few hours on us to create this batch of necklaces.
Adding one tiny piece of plastic at a time, focus and patience is key.
Next, we let the resin with ocean plastic dry. It's very similar to watching paint dry, so let's jump to the last step!
After polishing the resin and adding a chain, the necklace is finally finished. Lastly, we add a QR code that shows you who made your exact necklace, and where your ocean plastic was collected to protect marine life.

We recycle post-consumer plastic bottles into ultra soft clothes. It usually takes about 6-8 large PET plastic bottles to create a t-shirt, while a comfy hoodie may use up to 20 plastic bottles.
