Lāʻau Kai - Men's Coconut Shell Necklace with Artisan Bead - Moku by Quarry
Island soul. Worn bold.
 
Grounded, coastal, and effortlessly masculine, the Lāʻau Kai necklace blends natural coconut shell with artisan metalwork for a look that feels both rugged and refined. Inspired by driftwood, volcanic shores, and handcrafted island tradition, this piece reflects the earthy strength and relaxed spirit at the heart of the Moku Collection.
 
The necklace is handcrafted with hand-cut 3–4mm dark brown coconut shell heishi beads made in the Philippines, each bead carrying natural variation in tone and texture that adds depth and authenticity throughout the design. Lightweight and comfortable to wear, the coconut shell creates an organic coastal feel while honoring traditional artisan craftsmanship.
 
Scattered organically throughout the necklace are stacked sterling silver flat disc beads that introduce subtle light and refined contrast against the rich, earthy tones of the shell beads.
 
At the center rests a bold, antiqued, artisan-crafted hammered barrel bead measuring approximately 15x10mm. Its softly weathered finish and hand-forged texture add a rugged architectural focal point while balancing the natural materials with understated masculine sophistication.
 
The necklace is strung on a durable silver satin cord for flexibility and comfort and finished with a sterling silver S-hook clasp designed for easy on-and-off wear.
 
Minimal yet distinctive, Lāʻau Kai layers beautifully with other silver or natural-material pieces while remaining striking enough to wear on its own.
 
Length: Approx. 20"
