While swimming at a Kihei beach I saw a beautiful black and brown reef fish. This inspired me to design this combination of colors that also reflect the segmentation seen in the beautiful necklaces of Ni'iHau (The Forbidden Island). There are two pieces, a 20" necklace and a 7.75-8" bracelet both with matte black acrylic magnet end caps. One benefit of matching magnets is that these items can be combined to wear a 27" necklace.
There are other colors and sizes of these bracelets available in separate listings, and these can be customized to your size, magnetic end cap design color, etc. These bracelets feel wonderful to wear and require little to almost no care by using a clean dry towel every few months to keep dust free and bright.

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
It is my goal to provide you with a long lasting, beautiful piece of jewelry that you will enjoy wearing for years to come. I take great care in the construction of my pieces to ensure just that. Please note: colors may slightly differ from their appearance on your display, as it depends on your monitor settings.

Aloha Aku.
