Hawaiian cross

Design Story

This Hawaiian styled cross was requested by Rob.

The warrior in the center and the motifs on the arms of the cross are protection symbols, and the four shells on their edges, which ideally embrace the whole design, are symbols of love and family, of shelter.

The sun in the middle represents serenity and the maile leaves, usually used to weave the traditional wishing well necklaces, symbolize affection and union.
