Did you know that Tula Blue’s origins arose from a love of the ocean? In fact, our founder + CEO Heather Stringer is a passionate scuba diver herself and wanted to design jewelry that was both waterproof and move with you during underwater adventures.
The best scuba diving jewelry that you can wear in the water goes far beyond just that though and durable – it is also designed with a bigger purpose to connect and inspire communities to create real change for our blue planet.
Regardless of if you are a scuba diver, freediver, mermaid or just lover of the ocean, Tula Blue’s values of hope, health, happiness and harmony far extend beyond its jewelry pieces. They are each hand-woven by local artisans who create to connect others with themselves and the ocean.
Now in a full circle moment, Tula Blue has partnered with PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors), which has the world’s largest community of ocean lovers. All of their PADI Club members will receive 15% off of their purchases with 5% of the cost automatically being donated to PADI AWARETM. Together, Tula Blue and PADI are working to fully leverage the strong community of scuba divers to keep them feeling beautiful while they help keep the ocean feeling beautiful too.
To celebrate this partnership, we have rounded up the best jewelry to wear for any ocean adventure, no matter how deep below the surface you decide to explore. From scuba diving jewelry to mermaid jewelry, here are the five must-haves that keep both you and the ocean feeling like the best version of yourself.
1. Bracelets That Remind Us to Protect the Ocean
If you are wondering what kind of jewelry is waterproof, look no further than the limited edition handmade recycled glass bracelets. Inspired by sea glass, this new take on the Princess and Riptide bracelet designs are 100% waterproof, one-of-a-kind and serves as a reminder to keep our oceans clean.
Sea glass is a result of glass debris from land going into the ocean and then being churned by the waves and sand for years. It is the ocean’s own way of naturally recycling glass debris but also a reminder that we all need to take action to preserve its beauty.
10% of each purchase for these limited edition bracelets will be donated to PADI AWARETM to support the community of scuba divers who are passionate about taking local action for global impact.
2. Pendants that Represent a Drop in the Ocean
We should all keep what we love most close to our hearts and this labradorite stone pendant necklace allows you to do just that. Representing a drop of the ocean, this pendant’s labradorite metaphysical properties are that of being a powerful protector that enhances connection in the natural world.
If you want to manifest and be inspired to create cleaner and healthier oceans, then wearing this waterproof scuba diving jewelry will help you do just that! Known to uplift and inspire those who come into contact with labradorite, this pendant should be a staple in every scuba diver’s wardrobe.
Plus, each labradorite pendant is beautifully unique, just like every single drop in the ocean.
3. Pearls Perfect for a Mermaid
Pearls have for centuries been one of the most adored treasures that the ocean produces. Created by the bowels of mollusks (true fact!), a healthy ocean ecosystem is needed for a healthy pearl population.
Whether you want to wear pearl earrings or a pearl necklace, these minimalist waterproof jewelry pieces are designed to be worn both near and in the water. While wearing pearls is a key accessory for any mermaid, they can also be adorned by freedivers and scuba divers too.
4. A Gold Bar Necklace for Coral Gardeners
A simple action can go a long way in saving the ocean. Which is what our simple 14K gold-filled bar necklace is designed to remind you of. For example, planting one piece of coral can end up creating a stack of coral underwater that re-generates an entire coastal ecosystem!
Similarly, this simple gold bar necklace can be worn solo on an ocean adventure or stacked with a range of other necklaces to create your own unique style and beauty – just as unique and beautiful as the big blue you are exploring.
5. A Stack that Celebrates Yours and the Ocean’s Unique Beauty
You can also wear stacks of waterproof jewelry that are spun to withstand the ocean. Just like endless ripples in the ocean, there are endless options for stacks – meaning that your scuba diving jewelry collection is something you can love, layer and leave on for the whole adventure.
One of the most popular options amongst scuba divers is to stack a crystal pendant, a pearl and a gold band – which also symbolizes that together as a community we can all protect the ocean we love to explore and connect with.
So when it comes to figuring out what jewelry can be worn in the water, look for two criteria: it is waterproof and it is designed to inspire saving the ocean.
