Kai ʻUla Mana - Vintage Italian Red Coral & Marianne Medal Necklace

Kai ʻUla Mana - Vintage Italian Red Coral & Marianne Medal Necklace - Moku Collection
 
Island soul. Worn bold. Collected with purpose.
 
Sacred red coral. Enduring symbolism. Ocean-born strength.
 
Rich in history, symbolism, and natural beauty, Kai ʻUla Mana celebrates the enduring connection between the sea and the spirit. Handcrafted with genuine vintage Italian red coral and sterling silver, this one-of-a-kind necklace blends island inspiration with timeless European influence.
 
Each AA+ quality vintage Italian coral bead is naturally formed and uniquely shaped, displaying the rich crimson tones that have made Mediterranean red coral one of the ocean's most treasured materials. The drum-shaped beads are strung on a durable silver satin cord and separated by delicate .925 sterling silver floral spacers, creating a design that feels both organic and refined.
 
At the center hangs a striking French Marianne medal, suspended from a functional sterling silver spring-gate clasp. Representing liberty, resilience, and enduring strength, the medal adds historical significance while creating a beautiful contrast to the vibrant coral. The removable enhancer clasp allows the pendant to be exchanged with another treasured charm or worn alone as a classic coral strand.
 
Finished with a sterling silver clasp and magnetic assist closure for comfort and ease of wear, Kai ʻUla Mana drapes beautifully whether worn alone or layered with other Moku favorites.
