This incredible Hapa Necklace is a beautiful collection of gleaming white, to barely there pastel pukas. All wonderfully surf polished and some embedded with tiny grains of sand and other "souvenirs." Only nature could create such perfect imperfection.
Over 5 dozen surf polished pukas are strung, small to large and back again, on hand twisted 4 ply rope (made from flat waxed polyester thread) in a chestnut shade of medium brown.
The secure adjustable closure is created using a sliding freshwater pearl, and each cord end is finished with 3 miniature pukas. The details and of this necklace are sweetly feminine as well as durable and functional.
While the pukas are the star of this piece, the exposed rope cord adds another beautiful and interesting texture and also gives the necklace its name...Hapa translates to 'half' in Hawaiian and refers to my signature half rope, half shell design.
This is an incredibly special and unique piece and I look forward to sharing it with the perfect person!
