Great White Shark- Deep Blue Necklace

Light and more petite than our other shark pendants, this Great White Shark Necklace was inspired by Deep Blue, the largest great white recorded, as she stopped in Hawaii to feast on a whale carcass. She and a number of other female great whites spent a few days gorging themselves to bursting, giving them a distinctly corpulent shape! These beautiful ladies even dwarfed the otherwise large tiger sharks. (cont'd below)

It was awe-inspiring and humbling to see the photos and footage. We are fortunate that such large females of reproductive age are still out there.

About Great White Sharks

Great whites are the largest predatory fish on earth. While they average about 15 feet in length, Deep Blue likely measures over 20 feet long. Males are smaller, averaging 12 ft. These huge predators prefer cool waters and while are slate grey in color, they are named 'great white' for their white underbellies. Pure muscle and power, great whites can swim up to 15 mph and on occasion are known to entirely breach the surface as they attack prey from below. As with all sharks, humans are not natural prey, but as they have no hands, a sampling bite is how they test things (agreed, not much comfort if you are the one being sampled). They prefer fatty prey such as seals, sea lions and whales. With an estimated 3,500 left in the wild, these giants are considered Vulnerable by IUCN and are listed in CITES Appendix II.

US Shipping: The good news – shipping for all US orders over $100 is free!  Otherwise our standard shipping rates are $9.99 anywhere in the US (8.99 in Hawaii).  If you are fortunate enough to live in Hawaii, we are happy to arrange a pick up.

International shipments: Please be patient while your purchase makes its way to you, we are a long way from most places. In fact, Hawaii is the most remote place from any other land mass in the world! Know that we will diligently get your order out as soon as we can, but that even with the best of timing, it may still take a few weeks to arrive. If you would like it sent somewhere not in our shipping list, please contact us or email at hello@alohikai.com and we’ll look into it for you.

Timing: ‘Alohi Kai jewelry is shipped from Hawaii, and some jewelry will be made to order which takes a bit of time. If we have it in stock, we’ll ship it out immediately. For silver pieces made to order, allow 1-3 days to ship; vermeil can take up to an additional 2-3 weeks to finish.  If you have a deadline earlier than this, send us a note to be sure – we may have one we can ship immediately. We generally use priority mail (5-7 days for shipping), but please allow 2-3 weeks delivery.

Our shipping is generally done via USPS First Class mail, however if you need something faster, and we have it in stock, we can send it priority mail (3-5 days from ship date), please email us at hello@alohikai.com to arrange it.
