Handcrafted Jewellery on Sri Lanka’s South Coast
Welcome to Olive Yu Jewellery – a place where craftsmanship, creativity, and connection come together to create jewellery that’s as unique as the island it’s inspired by. Nestled in the heart of Ahangama on Sri Lanka’s south coast, Olive Yu began in 2019, founded by two passionate creators, Kate and Susie, whose love for gemstones and exploration sparked a journey of artistry and collaboration. This journey continues to inspire us every day, and it is our joy to share this with you, one piece at a time.
Jewellery with a Twist (and a Story)
Our mission? Simple: bring you jewellery that’s beyond the ordinary. Inspired by Sri Lanka’s natural beauty and a love for the perfectly imperfect, our pieces celebrate organic shapes, bold colors, and vibrant Sri Lankan gemstones like sapphire and tourmaline. Think quirky, playful, and a little bit rebellious – we like to call it “art for your fingers, neck, and ears.”
Made in Ahangama – With Heart, Soul, and a Whole Lot of Love
Here in our Ahangama studio, each piece is handcrafted by a team that’s basically family. Our style? Traditional materials, but with a free spirit that doesn’t follow the rules. Every ring, pendant, and earring carries the heart of Sri Lanka’s artisan spirit and is designed to make you feel as special as the island itself. If you’re after that perfect souvenir from Sri Lanka, look no further. Our pieces aren’t just pretty; they’re built to last – and they’re a story you can wear.
