Aloha, I created this rich, small Honu sculptural pendant
to celebrate this peaceful & important marine animal and I call it “Spirit
Honu Liiâ€. I meticulously hand selected the rough gem and then cut this
sumptuous, exotic & lively Precious Opal In Matrix gemstone for this
pendant. This gemstone gives this Honu a life of its own, as it is alive with
rich greens, and some red and golden fire. It is set it in a solid sterling
silver sculpture I created in the lost wax tradition. This piece is my Jewel #
P-SHL-MXOPL-1047-002
After much study of ancient Hawaiian and Polynesian Honu
art and mythology, I sculpted the Spirit Honu to be an exotic form and
integrated stylized ancient Polynesian tattoo art in a spiraling wave pattern
to represent the spirit within as well as our profound and crucial relationship
with the sea.
In the Hawaiian culture, the Green Sea Turtle is revered
and is lovingly called “Honuâ€; it symbolizes humility, peace, longevity and the
spirit within. The ancient Hawaiians even created the myth that the Hawaiian
islands themselves were mounted to a giant Honu’s shell and the movement of the
sun, stars and moon in the sky was actually caused by the giant Honu swimming
beneath them.
This beautiful piece is a member of my “Life on the Reefâ€
collection of marine life jewelry art which focuses on important, and in this
case very familiar and well-loved members of the tropical reef community. I
have also created a larger Spirit Honu Nui version of this pendant which you
can find in my Etsy Shop https://www.etsy.com/shop/JewelsoftheReef, or here on
my website.
Aloha and Enjoy,
Thresh
Features
Gemstone:Size: This lii (small, petite) size pendant measures just a bit over 1†tall x a bit under 1†wide x nearly 3/8†thick. It’s about the same diameter as a quarter, but I feel it presents a little smaller due to its’ sculpted form. It is sculpted and completely finished on the back.
Patina: created in the recesses of the sculpture to subtly contrast and accentuate the highly polished raised surfaces.
Chain: Solid Sterling Silver 1.1mm Snake chain with fine lobster clasp and subtle oxidized patina in the recesses, 18†length included.
Authenticity: I hand sign this original fine jewelry art that I personally create in my Kauai studio, as this shows my pride in my unique design and fine workmanship. The jewelry photographed here is the actual piece you are purchasing and that I will ship. I create and include a genuine Certificate of Authenticity with this original jewelry art piece.
Presentation: I nestle my jewelry art in a beautiful blue leatherette presentation jewelry gift box with white satin interior, with a white customized Jewels of the Reef outer packing cover. I include this at no additional charge, as I think you’ll appreciate this attention to detail.
