ʻAumakua Necklace & Coral Earring Set - Moku Collection
 
Island soul. Worn bold. Collected with purpose.
 
Guided by the sea. Rooted in strength.
 
Named for the Hawaiian word ʻAumakua, meaning a revered ancestral guardian or protector, this one-of-a-kind necklace-and-earring set honors heritage, resilience, and the enduring connection between ocean and spirit.
 
Handcrafted with AAA-quality vintage Italian red coral beads, the necklace celebrates one of the sea's most treasured natural materials. Each coral bead displays rich crimson tones and subtle, nature-shaped variations, creating a design that feels both powerful and deeply connected to the ocean.
 
Warm 14k gold-filled accents are thoughtfully placed throughout the necklace, bringing balance and radiance to the vibrant coral. At the center hangs a striking antiqued gold medal pendant, suspended from a removable 14k gold-filled clasp. Symbolizing freedom, courage, and personal strength, the pendant serves as a meaningful focal point while allowing for versatile styling.
 
The necklace is finished with an 18k gold magnetic clasp for secure, effortless wear, and accented with gold-filled details that beautifully complement the warmth of the coral.
 
Completing the set are coordinating coral earrings handcrafted with matching vintage coral beads and gold-filled accents. Lightweight and elegant, they echo the necklace's colors and spirit while creating a beautifully cohesive look.
 
Whether worn together or separately, ʻAumakua is a celebration of strength, freedom, and the enduring beauty of the sea.
