Meanings of the Honu: The Honu (Green Sea Turtle) is considered a strong symbol for Hawaiians, the word for land is 'Aina honua. The ancient Hawaiians have a saying that, "Land is like a honu, as it moves on", meaning that it passes slowly but inexorably from owner to heir. From history to present day there are many belief symbols. Some are of good omens and some are of bad omens. We even see some of these symbols in our dreams. A honu seen in a dream indicates an unusual improvement, which is a positive omen. Honu sensed in a negative aspect means having a fear of facing some type of responsibility or situation. However, a honu typically represents long life because they live a long time. They also have an inner quiet strength. To the Polynesians, the honu symbolized fertility and long life. The honu connects us with our past as they are symbols of longevity, peace, humility, the spirit within and the ultimate navigators who always return to the sands of their birthplace. They are the link between the old and the new and help guide us through our voyage of life. In Hawaiian culture, they are considered as `Aumakua (personal or family gods); a protective ancestral guardian spirit and advisor which manifests itself in the form of certain animals, inanimate objects or natural events. Mother of Pearl Care: Use mild soaps and water on mother of pearl to clean it, and avoid storing it with jewelry which may scratch it and wear away the luminous layers of nacre. About Australian Black-Lip Oysters: An oyster, known scientifically as Pinctada margaritifera, found in the South Pacific, in areas such as Australia, Fiji, Tahiti, Okinawa, Cook Islands, Persian Gulf, parts of Indian Ocean, Baja California and the Gulf of Mexico. This particular species of oyster grows to about twelve inches in diameter and produces a wide range of dark-colored pearls commonly called "Tahitian pearls" or "black pearls." The natural colors of pearls grown by this oyster include silver/white, light gray, dark gray, orange, gold, green, blue, purple, and black. The Black Lip pearl oyster has been valued by people in the IndoPacific region for centuries. Its shell was used for making jewelry, decorations, and tools, such as fish hooks and knives. The Black Lip Oysters’ “mother of pearl” inner shell has beautiful iridescent qualities. This pendant is created from Australian Mother of Pearl shells, the same shell of the oysters that gives birth to superb Black South Sea Pearls. The Mother of Pearl shell is surface polished to display a beautiful shine along with its natural rainbow colored hues and iridescence.
