As a child, I grew up in a little town near Barcelona, mesmerized by the beauty and mysteries of the Mediterranean Sea.

I’d spend countless hours at the beach, filling my pockets with the prettiest seashells I could find.

With messy hair and sandy toes, I'd return home, lay them out on the table, and marvel at my findings.

I’d sit for hours, carefully stringing them together with clumsy but determined hands.

The necklaces I made were far from perfect, but to me, they were magical.

I still remember the joy of giving them away — slipping them over my mom’s neck or handing them to a friend with a proud smile.

Sometimes, I’d keep one for myself, wearing it like a secret treasure of the Mediterranean I could carry with me everywhere.

It was my way of sharing the Mediterranean’s beauty with the people I loved.

Those moments shaped me.

As I grew older, my love for the Mediterranean carried me beyond my childhood shores.

The mystical Greek islands…

The golden coasts of Italy…

The crystal-blue coves of Croatia…

I’m fortunate to have wandered through many corners of this sunlit land.

And I founded Mediterranean Ousia to share the essence — the ousia — of the Mediterranean with the world.

But at the same time, to help protect it.

For all the Mediterranean has given me, I feel a deep sense of gratitude and responsibility to give back.

That’s why a portion of every purchase goes to Save the Med and ECOMAR, organizations devoted to preserving its marine environment, so future generations can continue to enjoy it.

Through each creation, my hope is to share not only the beauty of the Mediterranean, but also the commitment to safeguard it.
