Description: Green Nephrite Jade Hawaiian Mo'o Lio Seahorse Pendant This vintage seahorse pendant is hand-carved in 3.35 grams of deep green nephrite jade. The Hawaiian Mo'o Lio (seahorse) hangs on an 18-inch chain, purchased from a local artisan on the Big Island in the early 1970s. Wearing a Mo'o Lio necklace can carry deep cultural and symbolic significance. Here's why: Connection to Hawaiian Culture: It represents a link to Hawaiian mythology and traditions. The Mo'o, as guardians of water, embody respect for nature and the importance of freshwater sources. Protection and Guardianship: Wearing a Mo'o Lio can be seen as invoking the protective qualities of these mythical beings. It may serve as a talisman to safeguard the wearer. Symbol of Transformation: Since Mo'o are shapeshifters, a necklace featuring a Mo'o Lio can symbolize adaptability and transformation, reminding the wearer of their ability to change and grow. Heritage and Pride: For those with Hawaiian roots, it can be a proud display of heritage and cultural identity, celebrating and honoring their ancestry. In essence, this piece of jewelry goes beyond aesthetics, encapsulating a rich tapestry of cultural meanings and personal significance.
