Koa & Copper Inlay Pendant Necklace

“Strength rooted in grace. Light forged through resilience.”

This pendant is carved from Koa wood, one of Hawaii’s most sacred native trees—revered for its strength, integrity, and deep connection to the land. “Koa” means warrior in Hawaiian, and the wood carries that legacy. Traditionally used to craft canoes, weapons, and tools, Koa symbolizes bravery, purpose, and a grounded spirit.

Inlaid with copper, a metal known across cultures as a conductor of energy and healing, this pendant becomes more than just an ornament. Copper has long been associated with balance, vitality, and transformation—a grounding metal that also reflects light.

The union of Koa and copper captures the Wabi Roots philosophy:

That true beauty lives in contrast—nature and metal, light and dark, strength and softness. It’s a reminder that resilience can shine, and that our roots—no matter how rough—can carry light within them.

Each piece is hand-carved from Koa, sustainably sourced and uniquely grained. No two pendants are alike. The copper is hand-inlaid, a nod to care, craftsmanship, and intention.

Wear it as a quiet armor. A reminder of where you’ve been, and how you keep growing.
