Kai Ula Necklace - Red Coral & Sterling Silver Necklace - Moku Collection
Kai Ula Necklace - Red Coral & Sterling Silver Necklace - Moku Collection
Island soul. Worn bold. Collected with purpose.
Crimson tides. Ocean strength. Timeless beauty.
Named for the Hawaiian words Kai Ula, meaning Crimson Sea, this striking necklace celebrates one of the ocean's most treasured natural materials—vintage red coral.
Handcrafted with AAA-quality vintage Italian red coral beads, each gemstone displays rich crimson hues and subtle natural variations shaped by time and nature. Long associated with vitality, protection, and connection to the sea, coral brings warmth, strength, and enduring beauty to the design.
Polished .925 sterling silver beads are thoughtfully placed throughout the strand, creating a luminous contrast against the vibrant coral. The cool brilliance of silver echoes the shimmer of sunlight dancing across open water, while the coral reflects the fiery colors of island sunsets and volcanic shores.
The coral centerpiece transitions into a substantial sterling silver oval-link chain, blending organic texture with modern elegance. This thoughtful design creates beautiful movement while allowing the necklace to be worn as a statement piece or layered effortlessly with other favorites.
A sterling silver lobster clasp and generous extension chain provide styling versatility, while a single coral bead charm at the end of the extender offers a meaningful finishing touch.
Bold yet refined, Kai Ula embodies the spirit of Moku—rooted in nature, shaped by the sea, and designed to be treasured.

Care Instructions
To preserve the beauty and integrity of your Kaiʻu necklace:
-
Avoid exposure to water, lotions, perfumes, and household cleaners, as these can damage natural coral and tarnish sterling silver.
-
Store in a dry, cool place, ideally in the keepsake box provided or a soft pouch to prevent scratches and slow oxidation of the silver.
-
Polish sterling silver components with a soft jewelry cloth when needed—avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
-
Wipe coral beads gently with a dry, soft cloth after wearing to remove oils and residue. Do not soak or scrub coral, as it is naturally porous and delicate.
