A Story Born by the Sea
Keiko Jewelry was created with the spirit of the ocean at heart. Each piece is thoughtfully handcrafted in Hawai‘i, inspired by the textures, colors, and movement of the sea. What began as a love for creating jewelry has evolved into a collection of simple, effortless designs meant to be worn every day.
Meet The Maker
Kristi Hayashida is the owner, designer, and maker of Keiko Jewelry. Her love for making jewelry developed as a young girl, and it quickly became one of her favorite hobbies.
Where It All Began
Where It All Began
Later in life, she learned to dive for shells along the shores of Oahu, Hawaii. By bringing these passions together, she created unique, ocean-inspired pieces using shells and sea glass — which is how Keiko Jewelry came to fruition.
