Hand-Knotted Jewelry
My jewelry reflects the beauty of the islands, the artistry of hand-knotting, and the timeless forms found in natural design.
I’m Anissa, and I have a deep passion for the meticulous art of creating hand-knotted necklaces that feel as fluid and natural as the Hawaiian waves. My journey began in 2020 when I set out to recreate a coveted $3,000 multi-gemstone necklace—one I admired but would never purchase. What started as a challenge soon became a dedication, leading me to craft distinctive gemstone jewelry where artistry and caring creation meet.
Style yourself with us- mindfully, with aloha!

Island life in Hawai‘i brings clarity to how connected we are to the ‘Āina. I’ve been fortunate to have a significant stewardship role in ocean conservation alongside an incredible community whose guidance continues to shape my values. My understanding of how my business practices affect our planet is growing and evolving daily. These experiences influence how I create — designing silk-knotted gemstone and pearl jewelry with recycled sterling silver, vintage materials, and eco-conscious packaging. I strive for each bracelet and necklace to reflect the beauty of nature while honoring Hawai‘i and Mother Earth, made with mindful care and a gentle footprint.
Each necklace and bracelet is hand-knotted with silk, a timeless technique that gives every design strength, elegance, and longevity. Tying a clever little knot between each gemstone and pearl protects the beads while allowing the strand to drape gracefully. This artisanal process adds durability and flexibility, ensuring your gemstone jewelry, pearl necklaces, and shell creations are both beautiful and lasting — truly one-of-a-kind pieces made with care.
The name Sacred Wave is inspired by the mesmerizing spiral of the Fibonacci sequence, a natural pattern found throughout the universe — from the curl of a Hawaiian wave to the twist of a puka shell and the geometric perfection of a pineapple. This harmony of nature guides our handmade jewelry, where gemstones, pearls, shells, and recycled silver are often hand-knotted with silk. Each design reflects balance, artistry, and connection to the Earth, making every piece of Hawaii-inspired jewelry truly one-of-a-kind.

Jewelry should be handled with care and worn gently. Any jewelry with metal clasps and charms need to be more carefully cared for- refrain from tugging. These may be gold-filled, gold-plated, or vermeil findings. Look at the description of each item carefully to determine the need to be removed prior to swimming, showering or working out. Avoid perfumes, lotions, and any other potentially harmful chemicals.
Take care in storing and be careful not to drop your creation as gemstones can cleave with force due to their fragile crystalline makeup. Each crystal type has it’s own hardness rating and many are fragile. Some crystals may not be water loving, so please err on the side of caution and refrain from contact with moisture unless noted in the description.
