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 lapis lazuli evokes the vast mystery of the deep sea and the clarity of truth. Wear her to honor resilience, spiritual guidance and the sacred strength that flows through every woman.

For each piece sold, $10 is donated to support women leaders in ocean protection and marine justice. See how we give back at aweinspired.com/collections/give-back.

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.

OUR MATERIALS
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.

    BEAUTIFUL!!!

    I’ve purchased 3 pendants+chain, and earrings. 1 was a necklace gift. They are beautiful packed and the pendants are not disappointing. I just wish the chains weren’t so dainty as the wright(though) not too heavy will weigh down the chain, in time , and it will break. Highly recommend. I’m about to purchase another pendant!

    One of my favorites!

    I have a few pendants from Awe and this one is my favorite! I like the background color and the contrast with the gold. It's a subtle statement piece that makes me feel like I can bring a little of myself without being too "loud." I'm happy with this purchase.
