Hawaiian Makau Fish Hook Necklace Carved Bone Stylized with Two Sided Scrimshaw

Experience the captivating beauty and cultural depth of this hand-carved bone Makau fish hook necklace. Each pendant is expertly crafted from solid, ethically sourced bovine bone—a natural by-product of the meat industry—and features intricate two-sided scrimshaw artwork, offering a stunning tribute to traditional Polynesian and Maori craftsmanship.

The Makau, or fish hook, is a powerful symbol of strength, prosperity, protection, and safe travels, especially over water. Worn for generations by seafarers and adventurers, it represents a deep connection to the ocean and nature’s guiding force. This bone fishhook pendant brings that heritage into a timeless, wearable piece of art.

Measuring approximately 1.9 inches (4.8cm or 48mm) in length, the pendant is both noticeable and lightweight, making it ideal for daily wear or special occasions. It’s paired with a durable, hand-braided cord featuring sliding slip knots for easy adjustability—perfect for customizing the fit to your preferred neckline.

For those who prefer a fixed length, we also offer the option of a non-adjustable cord with a secure toggle-and-loop closure. Just leave a note at checkout with your preference.

Our commitment to sustainability means every piece is made using ethically sourced bone, never from wild or endangered animals. We adhere to responsible, eco-conscious practices that support traditional craftsmanship without harming the environment.

This bone Makau necklace is more than just jewelry—it’s a meaningful expression of natural beauty, cultural symbolism, and ethical values. It comes packaged in a soft gift pouch with an informational card explaining its significance, making it a thoughtful gift for surfers, travelers, nature lovers, and fans of handcrafted tribal designs.

Add a sense of heritage and purpose to your accessory collection with this one-of-a-kind scrimshaw fish hook necklace, made to be worn, appreciated, and remembered.
