Gifts for Her

Manta Rays are  an icon of the Maldives. From the humble Reef Manta Ray (Mobula Alfredi) to their more elusive cousins, the Giant Oceanic Manta Ray (Mobula Birostris), these marine behemoths have a safe haven in our crystal clear waters. Manta Rays have never been traditionally hunted in the Maldives and our commercial tuna fisheries are predominantly pole and line. This makes threats to Maldivian Mantas almost non-existent. As artists, we draw inspiration from the ocean and the Mantas silent flight in our waters have been awe inspiring.

Our Manta pendants are designed to immortalise these beautiful creatures in all its graceful glory. Be it elegant nights, or a day by the sea, they can be worn effortlessly for any occasion.

The Maldives is home to five of the seven species of the world’s marine turtles. From the rare Olive Ridley to gargantuan Leatherback, sea turtles have graced our seas and shores with their presence for aeons. Though they have been traditionally hunted for their meat, eggs and shells, the mentality toward these amazing creatures have been gradually changing over the past few decades. With the combined efforts of conservationists, scientists and the authorities, many sanctuaries now exist in the Maldives. Their efforts have shown to be fruitful, as turtle numbers have been making a comeback and becoming a common sight for divers and snorkelling enthusiasts.
