Celebrate the true spirit of Hawai‘i with this Metal Enamel Shaka Keychain—an iconic gesture that represents aloha, gratitude, and the laid-back warmth of island life.

Crafted from durable metal and finished with vibrant enamel, this keychain features the classic shaka hand sign. While the exact origin of the shaka has several stories, one of the most beloved comes from Lā‘ie on O‘ahu, where a local plantation worker named Hamana Kalili lost three fingers in an accident. His unique wave—thumb and pinky out—became a familiar sight in the community and eventually evolved into the symbolic gesture recognized across Hawai‘i today. Over time, surfers, kūpuna, and keiki alike embraced the shaka as a universal sign of friendship, goodwill, and “hang loose” island living.

Measuring 2 x 2 inches, this keychain is a versatile accessory for keys, backpacks, beach bags, or zipper pulls. The rich enamel detailing brings the design to life, creating a meaningful keepsake for anyone who loves Hawai‘i’s culture, history, and sense of community.

Your purchase supports Advance Wildlife Education’s mission to inspire a love for nature through bilingual education, wildlife art, and conservation-focused outreach.
