About Us

Brian and Nikki are both native to Northern California. Brian began his passion for SCUBA diving at the early age of 13. He received his instruction from Marin Skin Diving, which is now Marin Bamboo Reef, and completed his open water certification in Monterey, California. Brian still loves diving in Monterey and Carmel, especially around Pt. Lobos. One of Brian’s hobbies is underwater photography. In fact, Brian took all of the photos you see on the website.

Nikki, his wife, started her love of SCUBA diving at age 30 when Brian purchased dive lessons for her birthday. Nikki was instantly hooked, and completed her open water certification in Monterey as well.

Nikki and Brian dive as often as they can. They are advocates of diving California where many say it is too cold and dark. In their opinion, diving California is some of the best diving in the world. The cold, nutrient rich water of the Pacific Ocean provides for amazingly colorful and abundant marine life.

Nikki and Brian are passionate about diving. They strive to show their admiration of the ocean and all of her wonderful marine life through their jewelry. Together they design and create unique, handcrafted jewelry when they are not diving. They offer gold jewelry, silver jewelry, diamond jewelry, and pearl jewelry.
