Maui Hooks - Hei Makau Adjustable Bone & Resin Necklaces- Story included in images!

Talofa! Or Hello- thanks for checking out my Polynesian Jewelry Collection. The necklaces are an adjustable surfer cord so it goes from 12” - 24” in length- wear it surfer or boho style! 😜🤙🏼 These are inexpensive pieces, often purchased for children due to the durability over that of solid bone. The materials used in these pieces are Buffalo Bone Powder and Resin mixed. They are created via mold- If you’re interested in the nicer, solid bone hand-carved pieces, I have that listed as well! Mahalo! The unpredictable nature of the Pacific Ocean and the fickle nature of fish behavior have led to the development of this special good luck charm. The fish hook symbol came to be known as makau. Hawaiian legend states that the demigod Maui went fishing with his brothers. He caught the bottom of the ocean floor with his magical hook makau. In this way he pulled up and created the Hawiian islands. With a creation story like that, it’s obvious why Hawaiians see the makau symbol as so special. But the fish hook symbol doesn’t only represent Maui’s greatest catch, but it also symbolizes the connection between humans and the ocean. The hook also brings prosperity, good luck, and strength to all who wear the symbol.
