When Kauila's mother dug her nest, a fresh water spring surged upward, quenching the children's thirst. Kauila is the "mythical mother" of all turtles, and perhaps of our children as well. It's also said that turtles were the guides for the first voyagers to Hawaii. Necklace is completely adjustable from 14" - 28" using the sliding knot system. Note: No endangered species were used in the making of this necklace, most are carved from buffalo bones.
