Description

For the ocean lover in your life — or the one you see in the mirror every morning.

This Koa Wood Whale Tail Necklace on Cork is one of the most unique pieces in the Crabby Mermaid shop, and one of only two unisex necklaces we carry. Whether you are shopping for yourself or looking for a gift that will actually get worn, this is it. The combination of genuine Hawaiian Koa wood, sterling silver, and eco-friendly sustainable natural Portuguese cork creates a piece that is warm, natural, and effortlessly cool — on men and women alike.

The pendant is a whale tail handcrafted from genuine Hawaiian Koa wood set in sterling silver. Koa is one of the most prized woods in the world, native to Hawaii and known for its rich, honey-toned grain that shifts in the light. Because every piece of Koa wood is naturally unique, no two pendants will ever look exactly the same. Four 4x20mm sterling silver tubes frame the pendant on the cork cord, giving the piece a polished, finished look without losing any of its natural character.

The necklace is strung on 3mm authentic premium eco-friendly sustainable natural Portuguese cork — water-resistant, stain-resistant, lightweight, and soft against the skin. Portuguese cork is one of the most renewable materials on earth — the bark is carefully harvested by hand without ever cutting down the tree, allowing each cork tree to live for hundreds of years and continue producing. At 18 inches it sits at the perfect collarbone length, laying beautifully on both men and women. A strong stainless steel magnetic clasp makes it easy to put on and take off.

This is the necklace you wear to the beach, to dinner, and everywhere in between — and the one people will ask you about every single time.

My Husband Never Takes It Off – A Perfect Ocean Lover’s Gift!

Published by Pam K. on May 23rd 2025

I bought the Whale Yeah! Koa Wood Whale Tail Necklace as a birthday gift for my husband, a lifelong surfer and ocean lover, and he hasn’t taken it off since! The Hawaiian Koa wood has such beautiful natural grain, and the sterling silver accents give it a polished yet rugged look—perfect for men’s jewelry. The cork cord is lightweight and comfortable, and I love that it’s eco-friendly. The whale tail design is so symbolic of strength and freedom, which makes it even more special. The craftsmanship is clearly top-notch, and the magnetic clasp makes it easy to put on. As someone who shops sustainably, I appreciate that Crabby Mermaid uses recyclable materials without sacrificing style. My husband gets compliments every time he wears it—whether to the beach or out to dinner. I might just have to get myself the matching Larimar version now! 10/10 recommend for anyone who loves ocean-inspired jewelry, meaningful gifts, or unique men’s accessories. Worth every penny!
