The Meaning of the Hawaiian Bone Fish Hook
The deep connection and reverence the Hawaiians had for the ocean created the meaning behind the Hawaiian fish hook necklace. A bone fish hook represents strength, prosperity, abundance, and a great respect for the sea. Ancient Hawaiians believed that a bone necklace takes on part of the spirit of those who wear it. The necklace becomes a sacred link between people, spanning time and distance. Who wears the 'Lucky' Hawaiian Bone Fish Hook Necklace?
Hawaiian tradition says that fish hooks provide good luck and safe journey when going fishing and traveling. Given the relationship that Hawaiians have with the ocean, these Fish Hook Necklaces can be found hanging around the necks of Hawaii's very best anglers, captains and mates. The Makau symbolizes the strength and determination of these fishermen. Additionally, a fish hook is often worn by travelers for safe journey.
The Specifics of the Hawaiian Bone Fish Hook Necklace
Each fish hook is meticulously hand-crafted in the traditional "Hawaiian-style". This "lima Hana" (hand carved) hook is from the bone of the water buffalo, also known as the carabao. The edges are smoothly rounded and the entire piece has a highly polished luster and feels good to the touch. Over time, your bone pendant will "pick up" sebum, your body's natural oil. This will result in the pendant slowly taking on a slight soft honey golden hue. The bone carving acquires the essence, or "mana", of its owner. This is one of the great beauties of bone crafted jewelry. This hook measures 1" by 2". The necklace can withstand salt water, pool water, bath water, and sweat.
The Cord of the Hawaiian Bone Fish Hook Necklace
This Hawaiian bone fish hook comes with an adjustable soft cotton linen beige woven cord. Up to 28", a perfect fit for any style outfit. Each cord is hand braided to replicate ancient Hawaiian cordage.

100% REAL DEAL By RYAN
THERE IS A LOT OF CARVED BONE FISH HOOK NECKLACES TO CHOOSE FROM, BUT ONLY ONE THAT I WOULD CONSIDER THE REAL THING. FIRST OF ALL IT COMES FROM HAWAII HOW CAN YOU BEAT THAT. SECONDLY IT SEEMS TO BE MADE OF TRUE HEMP ROPE AND BONE. Kana-Kala Pacific DOES A GREAT JOB."HERITAGE" JEWELRY A WINNER! By C W
Just received (in 6 days, HI to FL) this exquisite handmade pendant. The fish hook shape is based on ancient fish hooks recovered from the Hawai'ian islands (and others, but I wanted one that represented Hawai'i in memory of Bruddah IZ).
It is so well made! Beautifully polished, wrapped in the traditional way, and the twisted cord is adjustable. It has good weight and size (just about 2 inches long from where the cord bifurcates to bottom barb)--"just right"--and is a very pretty color, not as harshly white as in the photo.
All in all, a very pleasing piece at a very good price!5 of 5 Looks great. By Michael
The pendant is the perfect size, not too big. The cord is sturdy and adjustable to different lengths. I suggest your get the cord wet before the first use to let it shape itself to your neck a little. Love the pendant, and the fact that it's handmade in the USA.
