Meet The Founder & Designer
The Essence of Akuaviva
Jewelry is more than adornment it holds meaning, energy, and emotion. It tells stories, celebrates identities, and empowers those who wear it. Akuaviva was born from this belief, inspired by the passion and creative spirit of its founder, Daimar Rivera.
From childhood summers in Puerto Rico, crafting with her hands and selling handmade creations to loved ones, Daimar discovered the magic of transforming raw materials into meaningful treasures. Encouraged by her mother’s unwavering support, she developed a lifelong love for handcrafting one that would ultimately shape her destiny.
What began as a personal passion became a vision one that celebrates feminine strength, self-expression, and the beauty of nature. When Daimar crafted her first designs, she wasn’t simply making jewelry; she was unknowingly sketching the soul of what Akuaviva would become.
"I wanted to create jewelry that inspires—pieces infused with energy, symbols of our feminine power, and expressions of our individuality. Jewelry should feel like an extension of who we are, a reflection of our stories, dreams, and limitless possibilities."
In 2021, Akuaviva made its debut, committed to bringing high-quality, sustainable jewelry designed to make a statement. More than a brand, Akuaviva embodies purpose, love for nature, and the spark of inspiration that fuels creation.
"Jewelry is one of the most personal and expressive things we wear. Each piece holds a story, a purpose, a moment. Through Akuaviva, I want to help you tell yours."— Daimar Rivera
