This incredible Hapa+Moku Necklace is a beautiful combination of two of my signature designs: Hapa translates to 'half' in Hawaiian and refers to my signature half rope, half shell design; and Moku translates to 'broken, apart, or piece of' and refers to the collection of shell fragments that make this necklace infinitely unique.
Fifteen and a half inches of surf tumbled shell fragments (all chosen for their deep colors and dynamic patterns) and nine chunky pieces of vintage sea glass float on hand twisted rope cord in a random but stunningly organic pattern,.
The secure adjustable closure is created using a sliding freshwater pearl, and each cord end is finished with three miniature pukas. The details and of this necklace are sweetly feminine as well as durable and functional.
While the smooth and polished shell fragments and colorful sea glass are the stars of this piece, the exposed rope cord adds another beautiful and interesting texture.
Please take note of the way this necklace appears under different lighting conditions. Sea glass will glow under indirect sunlight but will become more opaque in the shade or under indoor lighting.
