Product Description

Keoni's original design honors Hawaiian ancestral spirit guides, or ʻaumākua. The triangle symbolizes the shark (mano), protector in the water; the feathers symbolize the owl (pueo), guardian on land. The wavy lines represent the ocean’s powerful life force. Keoni's design also includes the signature band he carves into the headdresses of his tikis.

Part of Keoni's 2011 Makau Pendant Collection, the hook is a symbol of fortitude -- it means you can provide for yourself and others.

18 karat gold, with black enamel.
Also available in silver and platinum.
Measures approx. three-fourths an inch wide, by one and five-eighths inches high (3/4”W x 1 5/8H).
Can accommodate up to a 4mm chain or cord.
Shown on black 3mm leather cord.
Cord sold separately.

The best retirement gift!

Posted by Steve, Fallbrook CA on 11th Feb 2012

We've been to kauai many times and went recently to celebrate my retirement and met Keoni and saw his amazing work. the Hawaiian Tattoo Makau in 18k gold was the perfect reminder of 42 years of service as a veterinarian. I wear it with pride.
Beautiful unique jewelry by local Kauai artist

we met Keoni & Heather in Evanston, IL when Keoni was visiting and was asked to carve a tiki out of a very old tree cut down due to a lightning storm. We ran into them at the Hanalei weekly farmers market while on vacation and were entranced by Keoni's awesome jewelry. We immediately bought the Hawaiian Tattoo Makau in 18k gold and a mother of pearl 6 barb fish hook that Keoni had recently carved. It has a very masculine energy to it that I really dig and very rarely do I buy jewelry for myself but I found this piece absolutely irresistible. My wife & I share the use of the gold Hawaiian Tattoo Makau.

Keoni also carved a special necklace clasp of mother of pearl with hand braided rope that he took extra time to make. I really respect Keoni's attention to detail in everything he does as he offered to make a 2nd necklace for my fish hook as the first was a little tight but now with a little usage, the original necklace fits perfectly.

Keoni's work is just gorgeous and buying directly from them is much better than going thru a traditional jewelry store. I love wearing my jewelry all the time now and even wear to sleep!
Beautiful piece of art.

This piece is just beautiful, with so much meaning behind it. My husband and I were fortunate to have met Keoni last April and see some of his other collection as well as some of his carvings. As said, the quality and craftsmanship and love of Keoni's heritage shows in each piece. This piece is a Christmas gift to my husband, and I know he will love it as much as I do.
Just an incredible piece!!!!

My wife and I just happen to stumble upon Keoni and his work and saw this piece and immediately knew it was something I had to have. The quality, craftsmanship and the soul of artist are very much part of what I feel is the greatest piece of jewelry I own.
