Manō, or sharks, represent strength, guidance and protection and are very sacred within the Hawaiian culture. Ancient Hawaiians believed that sharks carried supernatural powers with some families even having their own shark god. It is also believed that the spirits of loved ones return in the form of sharks.
The triangle is the ancient symbol used to represent niho manō, meaning shark teeth. Made completely by hand, this piece is a labor of love. My hope is that when wearing these, that you will feel not only more connected with your higher-self, but also your kūpuna and, of course, the āina.

These earrings exceeded my expectations, for sure! From the inspiration, to design, to craftsmanship, these earrings are absolutely stunning. I love the crisp details and brushed finished. The cherry on top is how lightweight they are! They’re relatively big (compared to other pieces I wear), but I feel comfortable wearing these all day long! I’ll be back for more <3
