About us
The origin of Hinerava in Tahitian recalls an exotic woman of rare beauty. Following legend, this essence of “rare beauty” is the heart of Hinerava’s jewelry collection. Elegant compositions highlight the natural colors of Tahitian pearls while designer and founder, Kelly Hinerava Bailey, channels the philosophy of sophisticated simplicity in her designs. Thus is born a contemporary luxury line of Tahitian pearl jewelry that focuses on the unique combination of exceptional precious gems with rare colors of pearls.
“Rare Beauty in Every Woman”
Our Mission
Hinerava's true meaning of rare beauty lies within every woman: a golden identity, a remarkable quality that is too often locked within. Relating intimately to this notion, Hinerava is dedicated to empower women to feel exceptional, inside and out.
Hinerava is also sensitive to the threat of climate change and its impact on our planet's marine ecosystems. In support of this mission, Hinerava works closely with sustainable pearl farms and launched its Giving Back Program.
