Royal Raptor Pin

Our heraldic achievement depicts the ʻio, or Hawaiian hawk, a symbol of royalty in Hawaiian culture, with its wings raised high like that of a phoenix rising from its ashes, surmounted by the Hawaiian crown and supporting the coat of arms, unmodified from its original 1845 design. Beneath it on a ribbon bearing our name hangs an order representing in totality the five main royal orders originally granted by the Hawaiian Monarchy.

We've refined our full achievement (aka coat of arms) down to something suitable for an enamel pin this size, while managing to keep all the details nice and crisp. The combination of gold and black with transparent enamels is really beautiful. The overall presentation has us in awe, but it's something that just doesn't quite translate well in a photo. We absolutely love this little guy. You'll understand when you see it.
