What do you give the person who has navigated every storm, who values heritage over trends, and whose true north is the sea?

This holiday season, the answer lies in a gift as enduring as their connection to the ocean: fine nautical jewelry from Aumaris. Unlike mass-produced pieces, every item in our collection is hand-woven or crafted in our Hawaii studio from solid gold, destined to become a multi-generational heirloom.

We've curated the ultimate list of the ten best luxury nautical gifts to help you secure a piece of maritime legacy this Christmas.

The Legacy Pieces: Gifts of Commitment and Unbreakable Strength

These pieces are the core of our collection—unwavering symbols of loyalty and stability.

1. The Signature Piece: Heavy Gold Anchor Chain Bracelet. The Anchor Chain is the ultimate statement of stability and enduring love. Crafted with bold, solid links and the authentic shackle clasp, its a robust, masculine piece (and equally stunning for her) that symbolizes a bond that cannot be broken. Give the gift of a permanent safe harbor.

2. The Heirloom Ring: 14K Gold Three Strand Turks Head Ring. The Turk’s Head knot is steeped in centuries of sailing tradition, representing eternal unity and an unbreakable commitment. Our rings are meticulously hand-woven—a true feat of craftsmanship—making them the perfect nautical wedding band or a one-of-a-kind promise ring.

3. The Bold Investment: 18k Anchor Chain Necklace. For the discerning collector, a statement necklace in 18k elevates the maritime look to the pinnacle of luxury. 18k’s density and rarity reflect a value that appreciates over time, making this a true legacy investment.

Symbols of Safe Passage: Jewelry for the Navigator

These classic pieces make powerful gifts for travelers, leaders, and those navigating life's many voyages.

4. The Guidance Charm: Gold Compass Rose Pendant The Compass Rose, or "True North," is the classic symbol of guidance and safe return. This pendant is an ideal gift for a child leaving home, a partner who travels frequently, or anyone who serves as your moral compass.

5. The Hopeful Reminder: Diamond Anchor Pendant Smaller, more delicate, but equally powerful. Our refined gold anchor pendant, accented with a single diamond, serves as a subtle yet powerful reminder of hope and safe harbor.

For the Couple and the Collector

6. Matched Elegance: Turk's Head Wedding Ring Set. Perfect for the couple who shares a passion for the sea. Combining 14K yellow and white gold gives these hand-woven rings a unique complexity, symbolizing the complementary strengths within a relationship.

7. The Gentleman’s Accessory: Gold Mariner’s Cufflinks An essential piece of nautical jewelry for him. These high-polish, shackle- or knot-themed cufflinks are the ultimate finishing touch for formal wear, offering a subtle nod to their passion for the sea.

Starter Heirlooms: Luxury Entry Points

8. Ocean-Inspired Sparkle: Gold Sand Dollar hanging Earrings. A beautiful, accessible piece of fine nautical jewelry that brings the warmth of the Hawaiian coast to any wardrobe. A perfect gift for a colleague or friend.

9. The Modern Mariner: Silver Anchor Chain Bracelet (Heavy) For the collector who prefers the cool tone of silver, this piece delivers the same robust, solid feel and authentic shackle clasp as its gold counterpart, at a lower price point.

10. The Subtle Wave: Gold Wave Ring An elegant, simple gold ring that subtly captures the motion of the ocean. It’s a versatile piece, perfect for stacking or as a promise ring.

Hector Sanchez
Aumaris original Nautical Jewelry is handcrafted with a natural approach to jewelry design, to ensure each piece is environmentally friendly, socially responsible and unique.
Hector Sanchez was born, the second child of a master jeweler. He is the one to inherit a legacy of jewelry craftsmanship that spanned three generations. Like his father before him, Hector enjoys the art of jewelry making. 
At the age of 16, Hector embarked on an apprenticeship under his father, who taught him the jeweler’s art along with family honored techniques Hector still employs to this day. The rigors of his father’s strict training forged both masterful design skills and an uncompromising work ethic rooted in hard work, perseverance and love for his craft.

 

 Hector moved to California and worked for eight years in the Los Angeles jewelry district, where he fine-tuned his skills. It was here in the City of Angels that he met sailor and entrepreneur, Bob Bitchin.
Bob shared with Hector his frustration with finding an artist who could bring his vision of a hefty sailor gold bracelet to life (Bob is 6'4"). Hector volunteered to give it a try. He did, and Bob loved it. So much so that in 1990 he joined forces with Hector to start a nautical jewelry business, and together they created among others the original Turks-Head Comfort Rings. After a few years, Bob decided to cast off and sail into the sunset, while Hector continued designing unique fine nautical jewelry.
To this day Hector continues to work on new designs from his studio in Hawaii, creating some of the most beautiful enduring jewelry designs with his wife Chris; the love of his life.
