Crafted from ethically sourced bovine bone, this unique bone pendant necklace showcases detailed scrimshaw artwork, inspired by traditional Polynesian and Maori design. Each piece is handmade and truly one of a kind, making it the perfect accessory for anyone who values meaning and authenticity in their jewelry.

The fishhook, known as Makau in Hawaiian culture, is a powerful symbol of strength, good fortune, safe travels, and a deep connection to the ocean. It has long been worn by seafarers, adventurers, and nature lovers as a protective talisman. Lightweight yet eye-catching, this Makau scrimshaw necklace measures approximately 1.89 inches (48mm) and is designed to be comfortable for everyday wear.

This Polynesian-style necklace comes with a durable, hand-braided cord that features sliding slip knots for full adjustability—wear it close to the neck or long and laid-back to suit your style. Prefer a fixed length? We also offer a secure toggle and loop closure upon request—just leave a note at checkout.

All materials are sustainably and ethically sourced. The bone used is a by-product of the meat industry from domesticated animals (beef or water buffalo). We are proud to use no materials from wild or endangered species, supporting eco-conscious and cruelty-free craftsmanship.

Each necklace is presented in a soft gift pouch and includes a card that shares the story and symbolism behind the design—making it a meaningful gift for surfers, travelers, ocean lovers, or fans of traditional Hawaiian and Maori jewelry.

Whether you're looking for a statement piece, a meaningful gift, or a symbol of connection to nature and the sea, this Hawaiian fish hook scrimshaw necklace is the perfect blend of style, culture, and sustainability.
