The Great Wave Collection

Where art meets the sea—sterling silver designs inspired by the legendary Great Wave, finished with timeless elegance.

The Great Wave Collection from Twelve Silver Trees is a celebration of art, nature, and timeless craftsmanship. Handmade in sterling silver and beautifully finished, each piece captures the sweeping elegance and power of the ocean, inspired by Hokusai’s iconic woodblock print, The Great Wave off Kanagawa.

Created between 1829 and 1833 during the late Edo period, The Great Wave is the most famous work of Japanese ukiyo-e artist Hokusai and one of the most recognisable pieces of art in the world. Its dynamic lines and movement have inspired generations—and now find new life in our jewellery designs.

These stylish pieces make versatile, meaningful keepsakes for anyone who feels the call of the sea. Each comes presented in our signature Twelve Silver Trees packaging, perfect for gifting or treasuring as a personal talisman.

The Story Behind Twelve Silver Trees Collections

At Twelve Silver Trees Jewellery, every design begins with a story — drawn from nature, history, and the art of slow craftsmanship. Where possible, each piece is crafted from sustainably sourced 925 sterling silver, often accented with 18 carat gold vermeil or hand-set gemstones.
These designs reflect the evolving seasons and our love for meaningful, lasting jewellery — treasures made not just to wear, but to keep and to cherish.
