Hawaiian Jewelry Koa Wood Hand Carved Fish Hook Necklace from Maui, Hawaii

I wish I could give this a 4.5 out of 5, which is actually about where it lands as of right now. I just got the product, which I intend to give as a present to my brother who is an avid fisherman. The necklace is just the right size, simple, and earthy, which in my opinion really captures the feel of fishing. It looks just like it does in the picture, and I even like the adjustments at the top of the necklace. The reason this necklace doesn't deserve 5 stars is because of how it's packed. It comes bubble wrapped so it is completely safe, but it comes in a really crumby looking sealed plastic bag. The problem with this is that this is obviously a product that most people would buy to give as a present to someone, and in present giving, presentation matters. In this case the difference between 'oh...cool.' and 'oh cool!' is the difference between a cruddy looking plastic bag around it, and a 50 cent cardboard jewelry box.I recommend this product, but since the manufacturer doesn't provide one, I would recommend also buying a box to put it in such as:http://www.amazon.com/Darice-2-Inch-8-Inch-Jewelry-Filler/dp/B003VLDP6Q/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1405104726&sr=8-13&keywords=necklace+box

I bought it as a gift as a replacement for my Dad. He had a really nice faux jade hook that we bought together one Saturday morning at a crystal market, and then it shattered when it fell off his nightstand. It was the only piece of jewelry that he ever wore. He doesn't even wear his wedding ring. I bought and sent this one to his house as a surprise. It arrived on time. This was the only time he ever told me he loved me.

I absolutely love Hawaii. I meant to get my nephew one of these when I was just there and I forgot. I liked this one because of being carved out of the wood and I'm glad I did. It is really nice and he loves it. I had gotten him one on another trip and that was some other material and not the Koa. This is much much better. Can't go wrong.

I love the necklace, but the rope could be better. The price was vary good and the fishhook was carved vary nice. I would tell anyone who like this kind of necklace it is a vary good buy.

I loved this necklace, wore it every day and the craftsmanship was phenomenal. But the string that the necklace is made out of is very weak, do not, and I mean do not, put much if any weight/strain on it because it will break.

I like the look .It is light weight .I would not recommend this product to someone young, THE HOOK IS SHARP

Amazing necklace. Makes for an awesome gift or personal item. You definitely get your money's worth.

The string on the hook broke just hours after I put it on. The hook itself is gorgeous, the string just sucks
