They design and create sustainable thoughtful gifts and beautiful jewelry infused with joy, compassion, deep belly laughs, and an ocean of LOVE.
Finding Companies that Do Good
I absolutely freak out finding brands around the world that are giving back. I get a warm fuzzy feeling inside. And it’s contagious. You just want to do more too! It inspires me that there is a desire to not just do business as usual. Finding those hidden pearls out there making positive change is what Classic Waves is all about. We want to highlight and share the stories of these businesses near and far.
You had me at oyster!
Grit & Grace creates elegant gilded oyster jewelry dishes. Not only are they beautiful but for every oyster ring dish sold they recycle ten oyster shells. By purchasing their one-of-a-kind oyster shell pieces, you support the mission to recycle oyster shells and rebuild our beautiful marshes and seas. Grit & Grace Studio has an in-house oyster shell recycling program that partners with SCDNR and local Charleston restaurants. I love what they are doing!
Why do we need to recycle oyster shells?
Oysters improve water quality, provide natural habitats, and protect shorelines.
Why did this catch my attention? I read that Enchanted Lakes used to be known for their oysters. I wonder if anyone has thought of a way to restore these oyster beds back here in Kailua? I was fascinated what this company was doing to sustain oysters in their hometown.

So what’s the big deal?
Replenishing oyster shells are necessary to ensure the future generations of oysters!
