Naupaka, Nau.paka: n. native species of shrubs (Scaevola) found in the mountains and near the coast of the Hawaiian island chain.
Dedicated to my sister, Jasmine Naupaka. The Hawaiian legend tells how Princess Naupaka fell in love with a commoner, a fisherman named Kau’i. In ancient times this was forbidden. Therefore Naupaka was banished to live in the mountain, and Kau’i was forced to live near the ocean. The flower grows naturally as a little white half-flower because the lovers were torn apart. Some say if you pick a flower near the ocean and try to walk it to the mountain, it dies before it gets there, and vice versa because the lovers can never be together again.
Available in 14k gold-filled or sterling silver with authentic Tahitian pearls, these beauties are approximately 1-1 1/2 inches long.
