Small Box Jelly Necklace on Leather

This Small Box Jelly Necklace on Leather is one of our more popular designs. The box jelly’s four flowing legs wraps around a heavy leather cord for a look that is both graceful and elegant. Wear one alone or style it layered with a large jelly for a bolder statement. These jellies suit a truly wide range of outfits, and are a perfect piece to express your unique style. Their organic lines are a wonderful contrast with feminine dresses and flowing outfits, adds a bit of whimsy to suits, and even pairs with classic t-shirt and leather jacket. On men, the heavy black leather makes a statement for styled or casual attire.

Box Jelly

There are three kinds of Box jellies found in Hawaii. These predators are sometimes referred to as a sea wasp, and like many other jellies, have stinging cells for feeding and protection. They inhabit the Pacific, Indian, and Atlantic Oceans. Nearly transparent, these beauties are extremely difficult to spot before they deliver their sting. In Hawaii we know them well – a few days each month most of us steer clear of the water to avoid an encounter.  But there is much to respect about them! With 20 simple eyes and 4 fully functioning eyes (with retinas), and a rare ability to swim directionally, they are unusual amongst jellies in that they actively HUNT their prey. The neurotoxin they employ is not as painful nor as deadly as Australia’s infamous Irukandji, but it can still do quite a bit of damage, even to an adult. Read more about them in our Box Jelly blog.
