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.
Thirteen and a half inches of surf tumbled shell fragments (all chosen for their deep colors and dynamic patterns) float on hand twisted rope cord. And at the center, one dark and stunning 9mm Tahitian pearl.
The secure adjustable closure is created using a sliding freshwater pearl, and each cord end is finished with a small miter shell and 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 are the star of this piece, the exposed rope cord adds another beautiful and interesting texture.
