Sterling silver pendant on waxed cotton cord. Round tiki pendant with a 10-11 mm genuine Tahitian Pearl dangle. This is referred to as the "large" version of the pendant (even though the overall size of this one and the small one are almost the same) because the tiki body is larger and the headdress proportion is a bit smaller and thicker. This pendant is 36.16 mm wide x 33.7 mm high.
Design Notes:
And this is my favorite incarnation of this pendant and the one I choose to
personally wear. I really like the bolder tiki with the round shape that hugs the
pearl.This tiki is Kanaloa and is based on a Hawaiian carving of this old
Polynesian sea god of death, darkness, water and squid. Fishermen and water
lovers look to Kanaloa for protection. In Hawaiian lore he is often partnered with
Kane.
We design each piece and build a 3d master model. We 3d print each individual wax, we do pull our waxes from a mold, so each piece has the original detail we built in the master mode. We created the artwork, it is exclusively for our use and it is not available anywhere else.
We do everything here in our studio. Once the wax is 3d printed, it is sprued and invested, cast in metal, finished and set. Each item is made to order and will take 2 weeks to 30 days to finish and send out.

For nearly 20 years we have been Hollywood’s “go to” jewelers for television and films. In our spare time, we design and make jewelry that we like to wear. Most pieces are inspired by our rescue dogs, Pyppee, Alfiler, Lleo and BubbaLou, but we also make items with other themes, like skulls, pirates, tikis, Vikings, tattoos, etc.
