Our jewels are a representation of Pacific culture, art and the islands.
Growing up on the ocean this Manu or Frigate bird symbol has always meant a lot to me and I have two birds tattooed on my arm symbolising my daughter and I.
This bird symbol and its many variants are used throughout all the Pacific Islands with many representations such as freedom, travel, adventure and safe return.

HOW WILL MY JEWELRY BE PACKAGED?
Our packaging is made locally and supports a group of local Fijian women.
Every jewel comes with our locally sewn and screen-printed calico cotton and mesh gift carry bag.
EACH GIFT BAG CONTAINS
- VAU ROSETTE tied to the handle. Our vau rosettes are made from vau or beach hibiscus plant bark which is stripped, soaked, pounded, colour dyed and finally crafted one by one into rosettes. Rosettes are traditionally used in Fijian Salusalu garlands.
- MASI POUCH. Our masi pouches are soft and protect and contain your jewelry. These are also made by our group of Fijian women. To make masi, the inner bark of the paper mulberry tree is soaked in water in strips until soft. The strips are then beaten with a wooden paddle, which spreads the fibres apart to create a natural cloth-like material.
- A postcard with information and contacts for Adorn Pacific Island Jewels.
VOIVOI WOVEN ZIPPER BAG
Along with our gift bag and packaging, you will also receive a voivoi woven zipper bag.
Our bags are made by Fijian women using natural voivoi. Voivoi is made by cutting the leaves off the voivoi or pandanus plant, stripping off the thorns and sunning them out to dry. You will often pass villages in Fiji with gardens full of laid out voivoi to dry. Once dry, the leaves are scraped with mussel shells repeatedly until smooth. The leaves are then rolled up and boiled and dried again.
The bags are finished with an Adorn Pacific tag, a high quality YKK black zipper and a black kula pompom. Kula has a long history in Fijian weaving. Kula is the national bird and woven mats were traditionally trimmed with kula feathers. Over time this colourful trim was replaced with yarn.
Our woven bags are sturdy and protect your jewels. They are great for storing your jewels or repurposing as a daily coin purse.
