Vana 
                          Creations is located on the island of Huahine, in French 
                          Polynesia, around 110 miles from Tahiti.  
                        Our pencil urchin creations are an integral 
                          part of the arts and crafts of Tahiti and the islands. 
                         All of our necklaces 
                          are entirely handmade.  
                        The urchin spines are cut to create 
                          the round and the shorter pieces used in the body of 
                          the necklace (spacer and tube beads).  
                        Each spine is selected for its colour, 
                          size and quality. It is hand cut, pierced and polished. 
                         The semi precious stones that 
                          are used in our creations accentuate the natural colours 
                          of the urchins spines
