Another Maui design original that incorporate's a whale's tail pendent as a focal. There are textures in the necklace with frosted teal toned donut beads blended in sections with blue rainbow beads (with for an added dimension). The blue and white glass focal tail has a touch of topaz in a dot on the tail's edge for a pop of color (or reversed with simple blue "waves" for texture in the colors). This magnificent art necklace is finished with a pearly acrylic metallic magnet with an extra strong hold.
Our necklaces feel wonderful to wear and require little to almost no care. To keep dust free use a clean moist towel with small amount of dish soap and run it through your hands every few months to keep bright. This beautiful hand-crafted style necklace was made using hundreds of glass beads from around the world that are meticulously loaded onto multiple cords that are woven then together on a Japanese Marudai braiding stand.

Kumihimo is an ancient Japanese braid making technique that creates beautiful and durable interlaced necklaces and bracelets. This art form goes back hundreds of years as braids were made for use in armor of Samurai warriors. In modern times these braids are used for belts (obijime) on kimonos
