Aloha, my name is Kelly Costello.
Being born and raised in Hawai’i has given me a natural affinity and love for the ocean, beach combing, and shell diving ever since I was a child. The ocean has always been a place where I feel most grounded, happy, and at peace. Salt & Water Co. is dedicated to inspiring and uplifting others to feel good through the beauty of nature.
Every Salt & Water Co. piece is handmade with love and aloha on the beautiful North Shore of O’ahu. From the location of where it was found, to the meaning each shell has to us — each design has a story. With a commitment to sustainability, we create small batches using ethically sourced materials, allowing for only a limited quantity of each design. Every single shell, sea glass, and driftwood is handpicked by me on the island of O’ahu. Our semi-precious gemstones are 100% real and of the highest quality from local artisans in Thailand.
I take care to make sure that any elements that I collect from the ocean and earth never contain any living creatures inside and anything unused is returned back to their natural habitat.
