BY THE SEA SXM
THE SEA SHAPED IT.
We gave it a second life.
Genuine Caribbean sea glass, found by us beneath the waters of Saint Martin and transformed by hand into one-of-a-kind pieces with a story to tell.

Good morning from Saint Martin

A LITTLE SOMETHING THE SEA LEFT BEHIND
WE CAME FOR THE ISLAND.
We stayed for what the sea kept giving back.

Somewhere along the way, this became home.
THE SEA DOES THE FIRST PART.
We take it from there.

And every year, when we return, it feels a little less like arriving
somewhere and a little more like coming home.
Some of our favorite island memories are the ones we get to share.

Take a little piece of the island home.
Found beneath the waters of Saint Martin, shaped by the sea, and given a second life by us. Every piece is one of a kind.
