Wear a symbol of strength, skill, and heritage with our Hand--Carved Bone Ko'i Pendant, a piece of art that feels both powerful and organic.
In ancient Hawaiian culture, the koʻi (adze) was the master tool, the essential instrument of creation and progress. The original tool, crafted with a dense basalt stone blade lashed to a wooden handle, was used by skilled artisans to build society itself—carving legendary ocean-faring canoes (waʻa), shaping the timbers for homes (hale), and bringing sacred idols (kiʻi) to life. Because of its vital role, the koʻi became a profound symbol of the craftsman's spiritual power (mana), ingenuity, and the ability to manifest greatness from the raw materials of the land.
This powerful symbolism is captured in our stunning bone pendant, designed to be a statement of inner strength and a connection to the enduring spirit of the islands. Meticulously hand-carved from creamy, polished cow bone, the pendant feels smooth and substantial. It is inlaid with three circles of iridescent Mother of Pearl that shimmer with captivating hues of green and blue in the light. The piece is secured with a masterfully wrapped, natural braided cord that complements its earthy aesthetic, and features an adjustable slipknot for a perfect fit.
Pendant Length: 6.25 inches
Pendant Materials: Polished Cow Bone & Iridescent Mother of Pearl
Cord: Durable, natural-fiber braided cord with an adjustable slipknot.
