Rise Jewelry was born out of founder Lisa’s love for scuba and free diving on the beautiful island of Oahu, Hawai’i. On her dives, she comes across the most exquisite ocean finds such as sea glass, sunrise shells, shark teeth and more. After cleaning each piece, she transforms her favorite finds into unique, fine jewelry using precious metals such as 24k gold. The timeless pieces are each unique in size, color and pattern. All of the jewelry components are ethically found and sourced by Lisa ensuring that no sea life is ever harmed.
