Welcome to MauiFishHooks.com Gallery Website, Home of a Complete Selection of
Quality Ivory Hawaiian Fish Hook Jewelry Necklaces!
Living on an island brings a culture closer to its roots, the sea. Thousands of miles of ocean separating Hawaii from its neighbors meant the Pacific Ocean acted as a contributor of life and good luck to the Hawaiian people. Ancient Hawaiians crafted fishhooks for a practical purpose, to feed their families. Today fishhooks are worn as jewelry to symbolize respect for cultural traditions with a promise of good fortune. The methods and materials have changed from the rudimentary designs introduced by our seafaring forefathers. Hawaiian artisans work to create the most beautiful ivory fishhooks imaginable, simple in design, yet polished and refined to a standard that is unequaled.
Cultures Connected by the Sea
Our choice of material is Rare Ancient Ivories, fossilized through mineralization over hundreds of years. These remnants of earth history are sturdy and beautiful. Fossilized Walrus Ivory is the preferred choice for Hawaiian carvers who respect its kinship with the sea. Import restrictions do not apply to Ancient Ivory because no animals were killed to obtain it. This material is 100% legal; we can ship to any country in the world. Our fossilized Walrus Ivory is unearthed from the Alaskan tundra where it is highly treasured for its beauty and durability. It is shipped to Maui where Hawaiian craftsmen use their specialized carving talents to complete the connection between the two American cultures, cultures connected by the sea. The results are hand crafted one-of-a-kind works of art, displayed proudly on a strong hand made necklace. Contact with the skin produces a magnificent patina over time. Our fishhooks get more beautiful with age.
