Puka shell bracelets are a classic piece of Hawaiian jewelry that reflects the ocean’s sacred place in Hawaiian culture. In Hawaiian tradition, puka shells are believed to carry good luck and well wishes. They can also be a sign of compassion and love.

These traditional necklaces are made with a single shell or a combination of shells, including the iconic cowrie shell, which stands for fertility and prosperity. The word puka translates to hole in Hawaiian and represents the unique hole in the center of each shell, carved out naturally by the ocean.

The Hawaiian seashell pendant is also a popular style of jewelry. Traditionally, these necklaces are strung on a cord or chain and worn as a statement piece. Modern interpretations of this design often incorporate other materials, such as gold and precious stones.

This bracelet is handwoven on Kauai from durable and weather-resistant waxed fiber with authentic hand-picked puka shells from the beaches of Hawaii. The bracelet closes with a traditional puka shell clasp, which works much like a button. Due to the nature of puka shells, each bracelet is one-of-a-kind and will vary in color, shape and size. All Ke Aloha Jewelry pieces come packaged thoughtfully, beautifully, and ready for gift giving. Puka shell bracelet
