Namaka wrap

Gorgeous polished abalone rondelles separated by hammered Ethiopian metal seed beads, and finished with a gold plated toggle clasp and a hand-wrapped abalone heist bead. This piece is named for Namaka, a sea goddess in Hawaiian lore. This powerful goddess can harness the power of the sea and tides to shape events. Abalone - a gift from the sea - is a gorgeous nacreous shell, and you can see the layers of nacre in these polished beads. A weathered brass artifact sits at the focal point, highlighting the natural and timeless feel of this wrap bracelet. Can also be worn as a necklace, and layers beautifully! About Abalone Abalone is a shell, made of nacre (same as pearls) by sea organisms secreting layer upon layers of the stuff over time. This beautiful “bio-crystal” has been used by humans for millennia – as jewelry, in rituals, and as currency. Abalone encapsulates the healing energy of the ocean, bringing a sense of peace and one-ness with nature, and transmuting negative energy into positive to uplift the mood and bring new perspective to situations. Wearing it can encourage healing (for yourself and your relationships), compassion, and improved communication.
