We have researched far and wide to bring you the most elegant designs available today. Best of all, every necklace featured below has been manufactured sustainably.

We hope you find a design that your loved one will adore.
A guide to sustainable surf necklaces
Gone are the days of shell necklaces. In this article, we feature exquisite jewelry crafted by a number of brands that have demonstrated a commitment to sustainability. Let’s get started.
Atolea Jewelry
A classic wave design with a lightweight chain, available in options to suit every skin tone. Personally, we love the silver design. That little curling wave brings to mind perfect days at a classic wave.
We make waterproof Ocean-inspired Jewelry that helps contribute to saving our Oceans.
Luna and Rose
Luna and Rose have designed a pendant that is instantly identifiable by those who surf: the surfboard fin. With fun indentations, the design is lively yet classic. It can be worn every day as a reminder of your favorite pastime: riding waves.
The Luna & Rose goal is plain and simple – to offer women around the world a clean product that has been ethically sourced and crafted by artisans who value Lady Nature above all else.
Linjer
We love the Linjer moon pendant. You might wonder: why the moon? What has that got to do with surfing? Everything. The moon serves as a giant magnetic to the earth’s watery surface, exerting a gravitational pull that results in tides. If your surfer girl is into mystical reminders of nature’s wonder—and she loves riding waves—then this could be the perfect gift.
Sustainability is a core value of our studio…after all, we started Linjer because we were fed up with the ‘throwaway’ attitude of fast fashion.
Wild Fawn Jewelry
Sunshine goes with surfing like icing goes with cake. Have you ever tried a cake without icing? It’s a mouth sponge. Have you ever gone surfing in the rain? It’s… interesting. Sunshine is undoubtedly the best lighting for a surf session and this Wild Fawn necklace is a reminder of that great goddess in the sky. It is an awesome surf necklace that we know your surfer girl will love.
We believe in ethically made, slow fashion that allows you to look your best while doing what you love while making sure we don’t harm the environment.
As such our pieces are designed and produced sustainably with the ocean in mind.
Mejuri
For the sophisticated surfer girl, this Mejuri necklace represents a lifetime of waves. The infinity style is unique and timeless. We especially love how the chain passes through the wave rather than a dedicated loop. It’s a design that can be worn to a day at the races or a trip to the beach. Most of all, it signifies a lifetime of surfing—and what better gift than that?
Our entire production ecosystem—including sourcing, manufacturing, and branding—aims to mitigate our impact on the environment, support and empower our partners, and give back to our communities. We know how our materials are sourced and processed, and the working conditions that they were made in.
Brilliant Earth
For the surfer girl seeking for a design that is truly unique and classic, Brilliant Earth present a wave peaking up within a golden circle. We love this design, and it caught the eye of some surfer mum’s in our community.
At Brilliant Earth, our mission is to cultivate a more transparent, sustainable, compassionate, & inclusive jewelry industry. We believe in creating jewelry you can feel good about wearing, without ever compromising between quality and conscience.
Beth E. Coiner Jewelry
Tropical surf destinations like Fiji and Tahiti feature waves breaking over… you got it: coral reefs. While some surfers fear the various types of coral heads that lurk just below the surface, many love the vibrant ecosystems that reside just beneath our watery playground.
For the intrepid surfer girl, who loves adventuring to the tropics, this eco-friendly necklace will signify an integral part of her favorite place.
All pieces are handcrafted by me in my studio in western NC. I use a low-impact, eco-friendly approach to create sustainable jewelry. My pieces are made to be worn daily with comfort and ease.
Pineapple Island
Surfboard necklaces are so… obvious. But not this one by Pineapple Island. It’s a tiny board with a stringer on a delicate chain. It is a subtle yet beautiful reminder of what we love doing most: riding waves. Suitable for the surfer girl who rides a short board. Longboarders are a bit picky about the boards they ride—and jewelry they wear.
Born from a journey of solo travel and self-discovery, we exist to introduce the fashion industry to ethical jewellery and bohemian accessories that won’t cost the Earth.
Ravenandlily
For a surfer girl who wants something funky and environmentally friendly but not necessarily alluding to the surf lifestyle, this is a beautiful piece of jewelry art. We love the shapes and energy—and so will she.
A Certified B Corporation and a member of the Fair Trade Federation, we are committed to responsible production. Our global network of skilled artisan partners use regionally sourced, natural and sustainable materials to bring our designs to life. Craftsmanship lies at the heart of everything we do, and we are proud to help preserve local crafts in communities around the world.
Conclusion
The perfect surf necklace need not cost the earth. Impress your loved one with a piece of jewelry that hints at sunny days and perfect waves so that she—and those she meets—get a sense of where her priorities lie.
