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.

  • Sterling silver, with black enamel.
  • Rhodium-treated, to enhance durability and shine.
  • Measures approx. three-fourths an inch wide, by one and five-eighths inches high (3/4”W x 1 5/8H).
  • Also available in gold and platinum.
  • Can accommodate up to a 4mm chain or cord.
  • Shown on black 3mm braided leather cord, with sterling silver ends.

  1. Beautiful piece

    Posted by Bob on 17th Mar 2012

    I just received my Tattoo Makau and it is a true piece of art. It looks great. I couldn't be more pleased with the whole experience. Outstanding.

  2. A beautiful piece of art!

    Posted by Joe Colao on 17th Mar 2012

    My wife bought me a Hawaiian Tattoo Makau and its beautiful. I also have a Maui style Makau I got after meeting Keoni in Kauai. The work he does on the Makau and the braided cord are fantastic. Get more than one they're all great! Keoni is also one of the nicest people you'll ever meet.

  3. Best Fish Hook Necklace I've Ever Seen

    Posted by Darren on 22nd Feb 2012

    I love Kauai and want to help out local artisans rather than big businesses. When I discovered Keoni's work I was really impressed with his passion, honouring his culture. When I received the Hawaiian Tattoo pendant I was more than pleased. It is exceptionally well made, has clean smooth lines, the tattoo is perfect and the silver shines. I've seen a lot of other Fish Hook pendants but they are all vanilla, this one is truly unique ... hoping he does the same tattoo with the Kauai Style Makau. Aloha!

  4. A prized possession

    Posted by Glenn and Karen Cook, Cider Hill Farm, Amesbury, MA 01913 on 14th Feb 2012

    We love the work both Keoni and Heather do on their gold and silver necklaces. Each piece is inspired by Keoni's knowledge of Kauai's tradition and spirit, and the craftsmanship is remarkable. We bought a Hawaiian Tattoo fish hook necklace for Karen's brother, Tweety, while he visited us here, and it has become his most prized possession. Thanks to you both for the true gift of your hearts seen in every piece you present.

  5. BEAUTIFUL & SYMBOLIC

    Posted by Kelly Smith on 7th Feb 2012

    These gorgeous hand crafted pendants are like Kauai Sunsets, the same, only different. No two are exactly alike and each is beautiful in it's own right.

    Being Irish, I am superstitious and the symbolism of the design also drew me in. When I wear my pendant, I do believe that I feel not only fortitude but some of the special Kauai spirit of aloha, no matter where I am.

    Mahalo Keoni for this constant connection to my beloved Kauai.

  6. ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!

    Posted by Dirk Sears on 25th Dec 2011

    This is an absolutely beautiful piece of hand-crafted jewelry. It is perfect in every respect! I like unique and different...this is definitely not "off the rack". The uniqueness is only surpassed by the beautiful workmanship. Great doing business with these folks......

  7. Special meaning

    Posted by Michael from Fairfax, VA on 10th Dec 2011

    I don’t typically wear jewelry, but I was immediately attracted to Keoni's fish hook pendants. The item is superbly crafted, and I have received numerous compliments on this great looking pendant. Keoni, you are specially talented, and it was great meeting you in person.

  8. More Than Just Jewelry

    Posted by Beverly Gorsline on 25th Nov 2011

    Ever since I saw Keoni's fish hook pendants, I couldn't get them out of my mind. God, they're so gorgeous and I love the meaning behind them.

  9. High Quality Jewelry

    Posted by Bob Paull on 23rd Nov 2011

    My wife and I bought two fish hooks from Keoni as anniversary presents. We are very pleased with the quality and how they retain the tattooed black on the hook. If you like what you see in the picture, you will like the product.

  10. Happiness

    Posted by Karen McKinley on 21st Nov 2011

    While vacationing on Kauai with my Ohana, I met Keoni. I was amazed by his carvings and jewelry. His work truly represents the Hawaiian Culture and the Aloha Spirit. My daughter and I wanted to get a special gift for my husband, one that would remind him of all the wonderful memories that were created while on Kauai. I purchased the Hawaiian Tattoo Makau pendant for my husband. My daughter and I believe that this pendant will be a reminder to my husband of our Ohana's love for Kauai/Hawaii and for one another.
