Our Story

Welcome to Tide to the Aina. We are Cheryl, Susan, and Nicole—three coworkers turned friends, then sisters, and the hands behind every piece you see here.

While Cheryl and Susan have years of jewelry creation experience and Nicole is new to the business world, we all share the belief that Mother Nature provides the most beautiful treasures and that everyone should be able to share in that joy.

We each have our own specialty: Cheryl is our resident pearl guru, Susan is the lauhala weaver, and Nicole is the kumihimo braider. As a trio, we constantly brainstorm new ideas and collaborate to bring them to life.

“Hey! I have an idea… how can we make this?”


Every single piece we design is unique, reflecting our connection to the land and to each other. Thank you for bringing a piece of our world into yours.


Mahalo nui loa,

Cheryl, Susan, and Nicole
