This is THE bracelet if you want to show off your Tiki vibe to the maddening world around you. According to Māori mythology, Tiki is the first man created by either Tūmatauenga or Tāne. It also refers to a wooden or stone humanoid carving often word around a human neck or as a statue that often marks the boundaries of sacred or significant sites. As we hit the modern world, Tiki’s began to represent South Pacific Culture and the exotic tropical lifestyle everyone was craving from the 1930’s to 1970’s. Now, we understand the historic and spiritual significance of Tikis which makes them even better. They still represent the exotic lifestyle, culture and style to those who yearn for the old romance of days gone by, but with a deeper meaning behind them. In a way, they are helping recognize what’s important in South Seas cultures and that they need to be respected. Everyone now knows when you see a Tiki Statue or pendant, you automatically think of island paradise. I thought I’d bring the Tiki to the bracelet world and step it up a notch. This Kukui Nut bracelet will turn heads in any Tiki Bar or on any tropical beach. It includes Kukui Nuts which are very important to Polynesian Culture. Also included are African Ashanto Glass Beads to represent that vintage, minty atomic/tropical color from the 1950’s – 1960’s. Some Ox Bone Beads are thrown in for some added pop. A Huge Tiki Skull Bead represents your love for the Tiki Lifestyle and as a message to others that you are welcoming. A Small Bone Mala Skull is a reminder to always share the aloha wherever you go. This bracelet looks the dang part and is a bracelet you might have found at an old curiosity shop back in the day. It’s also very important to remember that this bracelet requires a fruity cocktail in-hand for full effect. Drink up!
