In Polynesian mythology, tikis represent a deep connection to the spiritual realm. Historically they were placed at sacred temples, and in and around homes, to remind Hawaiians of their core values: respect for family, appreciation of nature, and belief in the power of knowledge.
Keoni's handcrafted tiki pendant represents Ku Kealoha: Protector of The Love. Traditionally known as War God, Ku is actually a peaceful spirit—except to those who mean to bring harm to others. The figure-8 mouth represents infinity, and the powerful connection between the past and present.

I saw a friend of mine wearing this beautiful Tiki with emerald eyes, and I just had to have one. I immediately contacted the Kauai Carver and they were happy to make me one. I can't wait to wear it and post a picture to Instagram. Keoni and his wahine Heather were so easy to work with and I feel blessed to have such a beautiful piece of art. I also purchased a strand of Tahitian pearls from them which I absolutely love.

I originally bought my Tiki pendant two years ago in a store, not realizing it was Keoni's work. I loved not only its look, but also its weight and its feel. (Holding it in my hand actually acts as a stress reliever for me.) Then I met Keoni at the Hanalei craft fair and he was speaking with a woman wearing my pendant but with emerald eyes. I asked if he could add emeralds to my piece which he was able to do and now I love it even more. Plus I've gotten many compliments on it! I've also bought golden pearls from him that I am incorporating into another piece I'm having made. He is an artist whose work is outstanding and if you are fortunate enough to meet and talk with him his knowledge and love of Polynesian culture could keep you at his table for hours:). Any item you purchase will not disappoint!!

I found Keoni and Heather when I saw one of his pieces of jewelry on exhibit last year at the annual Island Art open houses for Kauai Artist. I tracked down Keoni and immediately fell in love with the Tiki Pendant with Emerald Eyes. I was honored that Keoni allowed me to purchase this beautiful and Spiritual piece. I have received so many compliments when I wear this Pendant. I highly recommend Keoni's Jewelry. His passion and true Mana, love of the Island and his artistry has changed my life and I know others too. Thank you!
