Know your Stone: Surfite

Have you ever heard of Surfite? This fun and colorful material is not only visually stunning but also environmentally friendly. Let's dive into the world of Surfite and discover how it is transforming waste into wearable art.

What is Surfite and How is it Made?

Surfite is a unique material created from industrial waste generated during the manufacturing of surfboards. Layers of resin accumulate on the workshop floor during the surfboard crafting process and then this excess material is collected. Instead of ending up in a landfill, these colorful resin layers are salvaged and transformed into something beautiful.

Why is Surfite Special?

Each piece of Surfite is a one-of-a-kind creation, showcasing a snapshot of the surfboard production process. The colors and patterns of Surfite vary depending on the surfboards being crafted at the time, making each piece truly unique. Its resemblance to stone allows me to shape and polish it, and the transparent layers expose hints of the sterling silver or gold beneath the surface. I design each piece to match the metal housing and the colors remind me of the whimsical colors of the coast like salt water taffy and tide pools. 

How Does Surfite Benefit the Environment?

By using waste material that would typically be discarded, Surfite promotes sustainability in the fashion industry. By choosing jewelry made from Surfite, you are not only embracing a bold and colorful accessory but also supporting eco-friendly practices that reduce waste and promote recycling.

Why Choose Surfite Jewelry?

Wearing Surfite jewelry is a statement of style and sustainability. Each piece tells a story of creativity and resourcefulness, honoring both the environment and your individuality. By adorning yourself with Surfite accessories, you are not only adding a pop of color to your outfit but also contributing to a more sustainable future.

So, why not add a touch of the ocean to your wardrobe with Surfite jewelry? Embrace the beauty of recycled materials and make a statement with accessories that are as unique as you are.
