The saying "good things come in small packages" is certainly true, especially when we're talking about pukas! If you have ever stayed in a hotel with a REAL mini bar, you know this to be true. The Mini Bar (cheers!) Necklace wasn't actually named after the hotel minibar, but it does share the same energy of fun and freedom.
The Mini Bar Puka Necklace is the ALL TIME everyday mermaid jewelry piece. This princess style necklace sits delicately around the collar bone and is a flattering length for all shapes, sizes and necklines. It is also possible to wear this necklace at a shorter length to accommodate a higher neckline. Play around with the closure or message me for ideas ;)
The pukas selected for this mini bar are on another level. These golden, vintage shells are few and far between. In my YEARS collecting shells, I have only been able to create two pieces with golden color scheme. (Check out the Wai Momi Necklace in Gold...it's another stunner!) The shells are strung on hand twisted 6 ply rope (made from flat waxed polyester thread) in a medium shade of wheat.
The secure and easy to use toggle closure is made with a sliding gold filled bead and a puka. Just slide the gold bead to open or close the loop and slip the puka in or out.
If you decide to wear your necklace at a shorter length, recenter your pukas by moving them one by one along the cord. The outside pukas are meant to hold their place and are drilled with a smaller hole. Therefore they will be the most "stubborn" to move. Apply firm pressure to move them slowly. Don't worry, the necklace is made to handle the abuse!
