Jewelry from French Polynesia
Miki Miki Islands
Island shells, golden hoops, pearls. Jewelry made in small batches, ordered by direct message.
The story of the name
In the Tuamotu islands, miki miki is the shrub that grows at the ocean’s edge. It stands on the front line, roots in the salt. Its wood is hard enough to carve into spears and fishhooks.
A name from the shoreline, for jewelry from the shoreline.
Pemphis acidula — 'ā'ie in Tahitian, miki miki in Paumotu.

The brand
Born by the water
Since 2023, Miki Miki Islands has brought together shell jewelry and a few outfits, sewn by its founder.
Every piece is put together by a trained jeweler who learned the craft in Tahiti, then worked in jewelry shops and on a pearl farm.
And a bond with the sea that runs deep: a family of fishermen, a childhood paddling outrigger canoes on the Bora Bora lagoon.
“The moment I’m by the sea, I feel good. The sea is vital to me.”
Mermaids wear shells for sure.
They took our pieces all the way to the Tuamotu. Women who dive, who fish, and who stay aussi belles que wild: as beautiful as they are wild.
