Kai Ula Waiwai - Vintage Italian Red Coral Necklace - Moku Collection
 
Island soul. Worn bold. Collected with purpose.
 
Rare coral. Ocean strength. Timeless beauty.
 
Crafted from exceptional vintage Italian red coral, Kai Ula Waiwai celebrates the enduring beauty of one of the sea's most treasured materials. Rich in color, history, and symbolism, this one-of-a-kind necklace embodies the strength and vitality long associated with natural Mediterranean coral.
 
Approximately two-thirds of the strand is composed of substantial oxblood coral nugget beads, prized for their deep crimson tones and organic character. The remaining section features vintage Italian coral tube beads that create balance and visual rhythm throughout the design.
 
Warm 14k gold-filled accents provide luminous contrast against the coral's rich hues, enhancing the natural beauty of each bead while adding a touch of refined elegance.
 
Strung on a flexible crystal-satin cord, the necklace drapes comfortably and moves naturally with the wearer. A substantial 14k gold-filled magnetic clasp offers both security and ease of wear, creating a seamless finish.
 
Whether worn alone as a statement piece or layered with other treasured favorites, Kai Ula Waiwai carries the spirit of the sea and the legacy of generations past.
