Shark Tooth Pendant

The shark tooth necklace has long been espoused as a symbol of male strength, potency and masculinity. Such necklaces first came to prominence with the surfing culture of the 1960s and really exploded in the 1970s, partially due to the book and movie Jaws.
Many surfers would wear the shark tooth necklace as a charm or talisman to bring them good fortune, keep away evil spirits and protect them from accidents and shark attacks.
There is a Hawaiian legend of a young warrior who dove into the sea and fought with a sea god. He emerged victorious wearing a necklace of shark teeth. So, the shark tooth necklace represents power and protection from the evil of the seas, including protection from being bitten by a shark.
Hawaiian culture views the shark as not only a potential predator but also that some sharks are the embodiment of gods, family deities, and ancestors called ‘aumakua’. The wearing of a shark’s tooth on a necklace is not only felt to provide protection, but also a way of honoring this important member of the sea.
The shark is both oracle and embodiment of fundamental life. The shark relays root-chakra energy because of its superior instinct, and that remarkable drive for survival which enhances masculine energies. Some of the shark’s symbols are:
-Primal
-Instinct
-Superiority
-Mystery
-Focus
-Power
-Knowledge

This special shark tooth has been handmade with pure cotton and gorgeous black beads. The sharpness of this tooth symbolises the animal’s power and strength, which the wearer carries with them through the piece. The measurements of the tooth are as follows:
2.2cm long
1.6cm wide
The tooth hangs from a black cotton adjustable strap so that the wearer may alter it to the size that fits best.
