Aloha, I created this large, handsome and robust sculptural pendant to celebrate this quiet, peaceful & important marine animal and I call it “Spirit Honu Nuiâ€. I meticulously hand selected the rough gem and then cut this rich sea-green Amazonite gemstone for this pendant. I love the way the pattern and rich color of the Amazonite brings about memories of the seashore. I set it in a solid sterling silver sculpture I created in the lost wax tradition. This piece is my Jewel # P-SHN-AMZ-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 smaller Spirit Honu Lii version of this pendant which you
can find here on my website or in my Etsy Shop at
Aloha and Enjoy,
Thresh

"Thresh" and "925".
