Description

The Meaning of the Hawaiian Bone Fish HookThe deep connection and reverence the Hawaiians had for the ocean created the meaning behind the Hawaiian fish hook necklace. It 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. 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 are found hanging around the necks of Hawaii's best anglers. The "Makau" symbolizes the strength and determination of these fishermen.The Tradition of the Hawaiian Bone Fish Hook NecklaceIn the same tradition of the Hawaiian chant, which was passed down from generation to generation, so should the fish hook necklace be handed down from father to son. A carving that has been worn by family members through many generations contains the spirit of all those people and is truly a great and powerful heirloom. And for this reason, we have a lifetime guarantee on our necklace cords.The Specifics of the Bone Fish Hook Each fish hook is hand-crafted in the traditional "Hawaiian-style". This "lima Hana" (hand carved) hook is from the femur bone of the water buffalo, known as the carabao. The edges are smoothly rounded and the piece has a highly polished luster which feels good to the touch. Over time, your bone pendant will "pick up" sebum, your body's natural oil. This results 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. The carving measures 1" by 2". This bone fish hook comes with an adjustable soft cotton linen beige woven cord. Adjustable up to 26", a perfect fit for any style outfit. Cord is hand braided to replicate Hawaiian cordage.
