The Marshall Islands is a true gem of the Pacific Ocean. This island republic is a territory consisting of 29 coral atolls, 5 main islands and over 1,220 smaller islands. It was first inhabited in 2 Millenium BC from the people of the Solomon Islands and it has a colorful colonial and historic WW2-era military past. These volcanic islands sit atop ancient, submerged volcanoes that rise from the ocean floor which gives this place a distinctive advantage. You want your tropical bliss and clear, blue aqua waters? This is the place! The population is roughly 53,000 which means you still can get away from the maddening crowd to enjoy the pristine beaches on your own. Fishing, tourism and agriculture are the main industries here which the locals take pride in. The Marshalls are also a marine life paradise, and they recently declared an area covering nearly 2,000,000 square kilometers as a shark sanctuary. Snorkeling and scuba diving are tops in the world here with Bikini Atoll ranking as one of the top destinations on the planet. Again, the waters her are so crystal clear and the aqua blue colors of the sea are really tops here. A short boat jaunt out to the uninhabited Eneko Atoll to experience what you imagine a tropical, sandy beach to be is well worth the trip out this part of the South Seas. This bracelet is based on that little piece of paradise. The Turquoise Howlite will remind you of the aqua sea color right off the beaches of Eneko. The Coconut Wood and Ox Bone tie in the palm trees and white sands and a Genuine Māori Fishhook represents the importance of what the sea means to the Marshall Islands. A Bone Mala Skull represents your connection to tropical paradises such as this. Always find the time to jump in the sea or to relax under the palms…and don’t forget your cocktails.
