Gemstone & Crystal necklaces made to ride the waves of everyday life.

Welcome to Wabi Sabi Gems, where we celebrate the ancient Japanese philosophy of Wabi Sabi—finding beauty in imperfection. Handmade with love by Yolo right here in South Africa, each piece combines authentic crystals and luminous pearls on ultra-strong silk threading.

Each Wabi-Sabi necklace features seven gemstones or pearls. Symbolising balance, spiritual growth, intuition and the joyful journey towards wholeness.

Inspired by the free spirit of the ocean, our signature jewelry is entirely metal-free, hypoallergenic, and 100% swim and beach-proof. Secured with our unique natural shell-button closure, these everyday talismans are designed to raise your vibrations, catch the sea breeze, and be worn wherever your soul wanders.
