Inside the workshop

All of our jewelry is lovingly handmade in our Mauritius Island workshop. 

Our small, authentic workshop is the heart of the business. It’s located on the property where our founder Harriet grew up, surrounded by sugar cane fields. The business started here with Harriet and our jeweler Ismet, Oceano’s longest employee. 

We take pride in our meticulous craftsmanship and high quality materials. Ismet sculpts our ocean-inspired pieces with genuine pearls, sterling silver, gold vermeil and solid gold. The raw materials are imported, but everything else is made entirely in Mauritius. Our sculptural settings are crafted from real shells found on local beaches, mostly from the wild south where the workshop is situated. 

When you’re wearing Oceano, you’re not just wearing jewelry. You’re carrying the treasures of Mauritius and the dedication of our team.
