A handcrafted horn fish hook necklace inspired by the traditional Hei Matau form — a powerful symbol associated with strength, prosperity, connection to the ocean, and safe journeys over water.
This distinctive necklace features a hand-carved horn fish hook pendant paired with genuine leather for a simple, rugged look. The natural bone and leather give it an earthy character that works beautifully with surfer, boho, outdoor and tribal-inspired style.
The fish hook shape has long held special meaning in Māori culture, where the Hei Matau is associated with the sea, strength, abundance and safe passage. This necklace is inspired by that traditional form while being individually assembled by Sunny Beach Jewelry.

A Note About the Design
This necklace is inspired by the traditional Māori Hei Matau form. It is not represented as an authentic Māori-made cultural artifact; it is a contemporary handmade necklace incorporating a carved bone fish hook pendant.
