OCEAN FLOW - PIA GRØNNING

How would you style Ocean Flow?
My style actually goes really well with Ocean Flow. I love all shades of blue. I prefer jeans and a T-shirt. Maybe a sweater if it's cold, sneakers or a pair of sturdy boots. My hair in a ponytail or braid, no makeup, and then I'm ready to seize the day.
What do you have a greener everyday life?
When I walk along the water's edge, I always bring a bag so I can pick up litter, old bottles, etc. And in my everyday life, I make sure to sort my waste, of course. If fruit comes in netting, I cut it into tiny pieces so no birds or fish can get caught in it. I also keep lots of bags in the car for when I go shopping, so I don't have to use paper or plastic bags from the store. And my dream is to be able to afford an electric car one day.
What is your relationship with the ocean like?
The ocean heals me. I've been so lucky to live near the ocean my whole life - either in the US or Denmark. I can't imagine living any other way. The ocean makes me feel calm.
The sound of the ocean, the waves, everything just makes me happy.
"I can be stressed or sad, and as soon as I get right down to the water's edge, everything just gets better."
Like all byBiehl jewelry, Ocean Flow is made from 100% recycled gold & silver. For every piece of jewelry sold, 1 kilo of waste is removed from the ocean.
Where do you find inspiration?
My inspiration is definitely a long walk by the water. You always find beautiful new treasures, stones, seashells, starfish. A piece of wood that the sea has turned completely white can get you thinking. Where did it come from - maybe all the way from Africa? Who has touched it? What was it before?
