Yemaya Pendant

Yemaya is the Yoruba Orisha of ocean, motherhood, and all life that begins in water. Deeply revered in the African diaspora, she is a nurturing force, a protector of women, and a symbol of the moon's pull on emotion and tide. This pendant captures her power mid-emergence, adorned in pearls and cowrie shells - symbols of fertility, femininity, and divine wealth. Behind her, a backdrop of genuine, natural lapis lazuli evokes the vast mystery of the deep sea and the clarity of intuition. Wear her to honor resilience, spiritual guidance, and the sacred strength that flows through every woman.

$10 from every Yemaya necklace sold will support our partnership with the Women's Earth Alliance, uplifting women leading the charge in ocean protection and marine justice.

MATERIAL GUIDE

14K Solid Gold

All packaging is crafted from 100% recyclable materials — a gift that feels good in every way.

14K Gold Vermeil

Awe Vermeil has been perfected for superior durability with an innovative oxygen bathing technique that improves gold adherence 3x over standard electroplating. In this process, we coat a 925 sterling silver base with 3 full microns of our signature 14k yellow gold and place the piece in a 100% pure oxygen chamber to remove any moisture and prevent tarnishing between layers. The 2 microns used by other vermeil jewelers is not enough for our standards.

925 Sterling Silver

925 sterling silver free of allergenic metals like nickel and coated in rhodium for superior luster and durability. Our 925 sterling silver is always free of allergenic metals like nickel. To ensure superior luster and durability, it's coated in rhodium - a metallic element resistant to corrosion.

2 Toned or Mixed Metals

Two toned describes a piece or set with mixed metals: Awe quality 14k yellow gold vermeil and solid 925 sterling silver.

CARE & WARRANTY

Made to Last

Every piece is crafted from ethically sourced precious metals and genuine natural gemstones – never base metals that flake, tarnish, or irritate skin. Hypoallergenic and designed for everyday wear.

Care Tips
  • Gently polish with the complimentary Awe microfiber cloth included in every order to maintain luster.
  • Avoid contact with perfume, lotion, chlorine, and household chemicals: simply wipe clean with a soft cloth after any exposure.
  • Store in the embossed velvet pouch or jewelry box that comes with your order. Keep pieces separated.
  • Wear last, remove first: put jewelry on after applying skincare and fragrance.

Lifetime Craftsmanship Warranty

Every piece is backed by our lifetime craftsmanship warranty. If anything goes wrong due to manufacturing – broken clasps, loose stones, soldering defects, or premature finish issues – we'll replace it free of charge.

Repairs for normal wear or accidental damage are assessed individually. We also offer repairs for 14k solid gold pieces.

About the Goddess

Yemaya

Healing Compassion Strength
A major water spirit from the Yoruba religion, Yemaya is known as the Ocean Mother Goddess and is often depicted as a mermaid. She is fiercely protective of women and children, taking on a motherly role and presiding over child safety, love and healing. Like water, she can be calm, but extremely turbulent and destructive when angered (which does not happen often). Yemaya represents all who are cool under pressure, with a deep inner strength that is sometimes underestimated. You have enough strength and power to take on any obstacle - you just have to unleash it.

    The style is cool but the gold is so fake looking. For the price this should look more like real gold. The eyes of medusa are a very faint green. They do not stand out. If I can return I definitely will

    I had some issues at first in regards to my order shipping, but after contacting customer service it got shipped out rather promtly. In person the pendant is more detailed and stunning than a picture is able to capture. I am so happy with my purchase and will definitely be buying more from this company in the future.

    LOVE my Rhiannon Pendant

    This is the most beautiful pendant! I saw it on my friend one day and she mentioned the company, I had to buy it and a chain that evening. It shipped and was delivered within two days! I’ve worn it almost everyday since. It’s absolutely gorgeous!

    Fabulous Set

    Absolutely beautiful. I love the pinky swear necklace on its own but honestly, the Rhiannon necklace is such a great statement that both together are just stunning. The quality is great, just like everything from Awe.
