Loading... Please wait...Keoni's unusual six-barb design was inspired by an ancient Hawaiian fish hook found in a cave on Maui. Now in a private collection, the original was carved of whale ivory, and may have been used by royalty.
Part of Keoni's 2011 Makau Pendant Collection, the hook symbolizes fortitude -- it means you can provide for yourself and others.

I met Keoni on Kauai and he showed me his work. I have the Maui style Makau and it is a beautifully crafted piece of jewelry. It is a one of a kind pendant that looks great on my chain. If you have a love for Hawaii as I do it is a must have. Keoni was very gracious and his work is first class. Mahalo Keoni!
