"KaiLa — a harmonious fusion of Ocean (Kai) and Sun (La)!"
Inspired by the traditional Makau design—meaning “Fish Hook” in Hawaiian, this piece carries deep cultural significance. The Makau is a powerful symbol of happiness, prosperity, and a bountiful harvest. Rooted in Polynesian heritage, it represents strength, abundance, and a deep connection to the ocean. Reimagined through the artistry of Japan-made silversmith craftsmanship, this creation stands out as one of the most unique designs we have encountered. The fusion of traditional symbolism with meticulous Japanese metalwork results in a piece that is both culturally meaningful and exceptionally refined.
This pendant is crafted from The One OCEAN’s specially developed fine Sterling 925 silver and meticulously hand-built in Japan by the founder himself, Sho Narushima. Each engraving is individually carved, ensuring that no two pieces are ever exactly alike. At its centre rests an 18K solid gold “KaiLa” motif—an emblem representing the “Home of the Soul.” Its warm radiance brings depth and meaning to the design, symbolising harmony, belonging, and inner light. Over time, the sterling silver will naturally develop a rich patina, deepening in character and enhancing its timeless appeal. This evolving finish creates a striking contrast against the enduring brilliance of the 18K gold KaiLa motif, resulting in a piece that becomes even more expressive and distinguished with age.
