The act of riding waves with a wooden board originated in Western Polynesia over three thousand years ago.
In the early days of surfing in ancient Hawaii. Surfing was a deeply spiritual affair, from the art of riding waves itself, to praying for good surf, to rituals surrounding building a surfboard. Surfing was not only a recreational activity, it was also a training exercise for Hawaiian chiefs and a means of conflict resolution.
This beautiful wall art surf board by DecoSurf will look great on your wall and you will have something to look forward to when you are too busy or too far to go surfing.
Hard diving helmets were the only way to provide air under water before the invention of regulators. Still today the hard diving helmet or copper helmet is the symbol of diving and is widely used in various objects like key holders, pictures etc.
This picture represents an old copper helmet and a map of the East Coast of America. You can find it and more in PrintLand on Etsy.
This 12” clock showing also tides can have any map you prefer made with precision laser cut technology. The shoreline number are cut to expose the beautiful Baltic Birch wood.
The clock will not only be a nice piece of decoration but will also help you when planning fishing, surfing or boating trip.
Tides are caused by the moon thus making the average tide time (lunar) 24 hours 50 minutes. So this clock has an extra hand and logic for calculating the lunars.

I was scuba diving in Malta and in Hawaii a year and a half ago and it was also the first time I got the privilege to meet a great Manta Ray from a close distance. What a great species I thought. When I saw the pendant made of sterling silver and representing a great Manta I wanted to pick it for this article.
The pendant is made of fine sterling silver and it includes a necklace made of neoprene. It will make a nice gift for someone who is into scuba diving.
The Manta Ray pendant can be found in Dive4Jewelry shop.

Being a diver myself, I have so many friends who love to dive. These diver cufflinks from Austin Creations would make a perfect gift for an active, easy-going man.
Made of sterling silver, this pendant by ZulaSurfing on Etsy resembles the bubbles of a diver and it would be a perfect good luck charm for yourself or a good friend.
A single piece of clothing that resembles summer is most probably a t-shirt. So it was obvious I had to find one cool t-shirt to feature in the summer issue of Design Jewelry and Accessories. The turtle theme featured in this t-shirt combined with tattoo texture was the one which made the WOW effect.
This turtle themed T-shirt is very summer-ish and features a cool creature with artsy looking texture.
The turtle picture has a tattoo texture. Pretty cool design in my opinion. Sizes available are XXS to XXXL from Scatterbraintees on Etsy.
This bracelet is made with Mediterranean beach stones and leather chords. Great looking accessory for the summer holidays at the beach, by StoneAlone on Etsy.

Being around such unique historical objects have developed a passion for them in Eva and after the revolution, she opened her own boutique in town, selling antiquities for 14 years. Now the shop is rented to other businesses, but some of the small vintage and antique items are available in her online boutique for collectors.
