When people think of puka shell necklaces they often picture the white choker-length strands that were all the rage in Hawaii in the 1970’s. The term puka means hole and refers to the naturally occurring hole in the center of these rounded and worn shell fragments. These beads start out as cone shells but after years of tumbling in the sand and sea they become little disks with holes in them. These shell beads are a beloved piece of jewelry that Hawaiians have been making for decades.

The shells are not only beautiful they also carry with them a spiritual significance. Puka shells are a symbol of protection and good luck. When Hawaiians give someone a puka shell necklace they are conveying their good wishes for that person.

These shells are found on many tropical beaches around the world and have been used in jewelry for generations.
