FAQ

What is a Puka Shell and where do they come from?

Puka means hole in hawaiian. Puka Shells start as a cone shell and over time as the shell crashes through waves and onto shores, the top part is left. The last step in the puka making process is when the hole is formed in the top of the pukas. Pukas can be collected while walking along the beach or in the water in certain areas where shells and rocks collect. They move with the tides and the swells.

What size should I choose for my necklace?

Each necklace has a length chart in the photos of the product, so this is a good place to start! To find out the exact length right for you,  I recommend taking a string and measuring around your neck to the point you want your necklace to hit and then measure it. Also take into consideration what types of jewelry you may want to layer your piece with or what necklines you will wear it with.

How can I get involved with the Puka Project?

You can donate a puka at one of our Pass a Puka On Drop Locations - Listed here.

Does the jewelry come with any packaging explaining the story behind it?

Yes! Each piece comes with a handcrafted card with a message about the purpose of the pukas.
