Kai Mālamalama - Three-Strand Seed Bead Necklace - Moku Collection
 
Island soul. Worn bold. Collected with purpose.
 
Deep cobalt. Golden warmth. Effortless coastal layering.
 
Handcrafted with three individually strung strands of premium Japanese seed beads, Kai Mālamalama captures the depth of ocean waters illuminated by warm island light.
 
The necklace blends artisan-crafted Miyuki glass beads in a striking palette of matte cobalt blue and luminous gold. The layered strands create rich texture and dimension while maintaining an airy, fluid elegance that drapes beautifully along the neckline.
 
The deep cobalt tones evoke twilight seas and endless horizons, while delicate 14k gold-filled accents add warmth, balance, and soft shimmer throughout the design.
 
Each strand is individually strung on gold satin cord and gathered at both ends by 14k gold-filled connector rings, allowing the necklace to move naturally while preserving its layered silhouette.
 
Finished with a 14k gold-filled lobster clasp and extension chain, Kai Mālamalama offers both comfort and versatile styling.
 
Elegant yet grounded in artisan craftsmanship, this necklace embodies the calm strength and luminous beauty of the ocean.
