The bracelet can be easily taken on and off by putting the small pounamu toggle through the loop in the cord. Although, the bracelet has been made so that it can be worn ALL the time and does not need to be taken off at all - even when you go in any kind of water.
The cord is extremely strong as it is four strands of 1.4mm thick cord that have been hand platted into a special, round, 4-plait cord.
Meaning of Carving on Bead: The bead has a wave going round it to represent the wearers journey though life. The crescent shapes engraved next to the wave can represent family, an individual, a place, mark an event, time or achievement in the wearers life.
