This ʻIwa Sterling Silver Necklace from Debby Sato Designs is available at Pop-Up Mākeke and would make the perfect gift for any bird lover in your life.
Upon unifying Hawaiʻi, King Kamehameha was called Kaʻiwakīloumoku, the ʻiwa that hooks the islands. The ʻIwa is known for being a master thief, able to snatch fish from smaller birds like Kamehameha, fought fierce battles, and took the Hawaiian Islands from other chiefs.
The ʻIwa is also known for its ability to fly great distances. It is frequently mentioned in Hawaiian moʻolelo (stories) and ʻōlelo noʻeau (proverbs). The ʻIwa is rarely seen. When it is seen in the Hawaiian Islands, a storm is coming.
This Hawaiian necklace is classy and elegant. It is sure to become a staple in your jewelry collection, and you'll want to wear it every day, no matter if you are going for a casual look or a fancy and sophisticated look.
