The Roi in this 18” sterling silver necklace was speared by Andrew and provided to us by former Hawaii contributor Sandi, both from the Kona Coast.

Known also as Peacock Grouper, Roi are considered an invasive species in Hawaii, having been introduced in the 1950s. Despite their rapid reproduction along the coastline and their status as one of the dominant reef aggressors, they do not appear to negatively impact the reef fish population due to the decline of other reef predators.

Salty Sisters Designs is a collaborative product of family, friends and fishermen all over the world. We offer sustainable jewelry using fish skin leather. Each piece is unique, and all fish are ethically caught, hand-cut, cured and designed. No two pieces are alike, and no fish is caught for the sole purpose of the skin.

Proper care will help preserve your resin jewelry for years to come. Resin is sensitive to scratching and oils. Protect your wears by allowing skin to dry of cosmetics and store hanging.
