White Hawaiian Fish Hook Necklace

$19.99

Discover the allure of ancient Maori seafaring tradition with MaoriMan’s White Hawaiian Fish Hook Necklace, a striking piece that artfully blends history with eco-conscious craftsmanship. The necklace’s focal point, the Hei Matau with its distinctive triple barbed hook design, is a cultural icon, traditionally believed to offer protection and good fortune to those navigating the waters of life.
 
While the Hei Matau is deeply rooted in Maori lore and often crafted from whale bone, our contemporary creation honors both its source and our planet by using sustainably sourced, recycled Ox bone. This eco-friendly alternative carries the essence of the original tribal hooks, with a hand-carved intricacy that speaks to the skill and dedication of our artisans.
 
Each necklace features a boldly carved Hei Matau on the front, boasting elaborate patterns that have been carefully etched into the bone by hand, creating a piece that’s as individual as its wearer. Secured with a strong, adjustable braided hemp cord, complete with solid beads for easy size adjustment, it offers versatility to be worn in various styles, from a snug choker to a laid-back pendant.
 
The White Hawaiian Fish Hook Necklace is more than an accessory—it’s a statement. It’s a nod to sustainability, a wearable piece of Maori cultural artistry, and a captivating addition to the wardrobe of eco-conscious fashion enthusiasts and cultural artifact collectors alike.

The Meaning of the Fish Hook – Makau
Why wear jewelry when you can wear something special? This symbol is a synonym of a connection between us and the ocean. The Makau on its own is very distinct, appealing pendant that symbolizes energy and it allows you to maintain the tradition of the Aloha spirit alive. Also, this piece also signifies prosperity, strength and it’s also known to bring in good luck. The pendant on its own can be created out of jade, bone or wood.
