An early morning some years ago, Vandaya founder Amalie who at the time worked on a shark conservation project in Fiji, went diving. On this particular dive, she found a little treasure to bring back to the surface. In a part of the reef with a sandy bottom, Amalie found a large bull shark tooth lying on top of the sand in a ray of sunlight. During her time in Fiji, she learned about the shark trade and that many sharks are killed for their teeth as well as their fins, skin, and oily livers. Unfortunately, many tourists are supporting the killing of sharks when purchasing shark tooth jewelry made from real teeth. Amalie decided years later to create a shark tooth necklace that would not harm any sharks but just portrait their beauty. They created a mold from the tooth that she found, many years ago while diving, so that her memories of Fiji could be cast eternally into a necklace.
This is the ultimate gift for an ocean lover, surfer girl, or someone who loves sharks.
