Small
Hawaiian Ahi Makau (fish hooks) are ¾ inch (19mm) wide x 1 inch
high (25mm). Hawaiians made their fishnets, fish line and canoe
rigging out of olona, a shrub that grows only in Hawaii. Our
line used to wrap our makau is modern day wax twine, a departure
from old, but very durable.
- Tarnish Resistant
Solid Sterling Silver
- Every jewelry
piece is 'Hand Cast'
- All Hawaiian
Makau (fish hooks) comes threaded on black satin cord ready
to simply tie around the neck. We recommend ordering
the cord length you like from the drop down menu on the subtotal
page, and we will adjust the length to allow enough length
to comfortably tie the hook.
- If requested,
we can add
clasps for an additional cost. Simply select
'With Clasp Ends' from the options below. When ordering
clasp ends, ensure that you order the exact cord length required
to hang around your neck from end to end. Use some cotton
thread to get a feel for what length is comfortable for you.
We will adjust this length by approximately 1/2 inch (1cm)
to allow for the clasp end spacing.
- Do not attempt
to thread the Makau onto a chain, the twine wrap is not designed
for this application.
