Elegant natural necklace made out of Fijian Coconut shell

This elegant necklace is hand-made by Rako Pasefika out of Fijian coconut shell sourced from the island of Rotuma. Using naturally abundant Coconuts, each mini-button is individually shaped out of coconut shell to just the right size, before being drilled to create the perfect incision. The coconut buttons are strung together using cotton fiber chord which is hand-woven.

Each of the 30 buttons is just over 1cm in diameter, with each piece being woven together to form the intricate design. There are three rows of coconuts with 5cm of chord either side before the coconut section starts. This is a delicate piece which sits close to the neck, similar to a choker necklace.

Customs-friendly jewellery

Rako Pasefika have carefully designed their stunning pieces to ensure that the natural materials used have no customs restrictions. Each Coconut shell has been carefully sanded, oiled and polished, meaning it has been processed and poses no customs threat.

These earrings are made from Mother Of Pearl shell that has been ground, cut, shaped and polished to give the perfect shape of a full moon. The Mother of Pearl shells are sourced from the North of Fiji. The earrings are finished with sterling silver hoops. They are packaged in a hand-made masi pouch, made out of the inner bark of the paper Mulberry tree. Masi is a famous Fijian cloth that is beautiful and natural, and complements the MOP shells. A beautiful Fijian treasure, Mother of Pearl earrings coupled with a Masi pouch, ideal as a gift. 

Rako have carefully designed each piece so that the natural Fijian materials used have no customs restrictions. Each piece of Mother of Pearl shell has been carefully processed - this means it has been sanded, oiled and polished. 

The only materials that have customs restrictions are feathers, Clam Shell, Red Vaivai seeds and any other seeds. That's why none of the Rako jewellery range contains these items. These are truly special, hand-made pieces that are unique to Fiji and Rako's Rotuman roots.

Each piece of this bracelet is individually created, rolled or flattened, one at a time. The pieces are baked in the kiln at over 1000 degrees Celsius for 8-10 hours, then left to cool for a day or two. Once cooled, the clay pieces are varnished and assembled using an elastic string, which means that one size will fit everyone.

There are no chemicals used in the clay, just water mixed in with the clay which is sourced from thre places in Fiji. Black clay from Wailoku in Suva, red clay from Momi in Sigatoka and white clay from Nabou Pine Forest just past Nadi.

The three types of clay are used to create a superior clay which is hard and resistant to wear and tear. You can be sure that your clay charm bracelet, made out of 3 kinds of clay from Fiji, will last and look beautiful. 

These earrings are made out of dried pandanus leaves woven together and hand painted to give them colour.

This piece is made out of mother of pearl, vau and cotton chord. The vau is made from the bark of a tree which is shredded then soaked in sea water for 2-3 weeks before it is finely shredded and put in the sun to dry. After drying, the vau is soaked in red dye to give it color.
