Jewellery: Hawaiian Pikake Rice Shell Necklace Collection, 2
A delightfully breezy, tactile 2-piece collection of authentic vintage Hawaiian resort-wear necklaces, masterfully hand-strung using thousands of genuine, ocean-gathered miniature Rice Shells.
This matching estate set features two distinct multi-strand silhouettes: a sleek, layered double-strand necklace displaying a rhythmic blend of spotted cream and smooth golden-honey shells, and a thick, sculptural tri-strand statement lei utilizing intricate woven clusters that mimic the sacred Hawaiian Pikake jasmine blossom. Both pieces are seamlessly assembled on durable vintage filament cords with smooth over-the-head loops. Infusing a carefree, nostalgic Bohemian-luxe spirit into the modern wardrobe, this organic jewellery set serves as a stunning, sun-drenched statement layout.
Hand-collected and hand-bored along the marine shorelines of Oahu, Hawaii, utilizing natural, unaltered miniature Conidae and Mitridea marine shells celebrated for their durable, porcelain-like natural lustre. The intricate tri-strand configuration utilizes the traditional "Pikake weave," a specialized style of Pacific shell jointery intentionally designed to replicate the rounded, layered flower buds of the Arabian Jasmine (Pikake)—the historic symbol of romance favoured by Hawaiian royalty. Finding a synchronized 2-piece estate grouping with both the layered everyday strand and the heavy statement lei remaining perfectly intact is highly uncommon, as these tourist-era trade sets were frequently separated over the decades.
Original Intended Use: Premium tropical holiday resort wear or summer statement fashion jewellery. Alternate Suggested Use: Draped coastal-chic vanity styling accents or unique sea-themed framing backdrops.
