Kalo is a plant that is a symbol of working the land, family, survival, and life force. I am attracted to the kalo plant for its beauty and wide variety of uses. Kalo is commonly known as taro. Kalo is used to make poi, a staple food of the peoples of Hawaii and their ancestors and kinsmen the Maori of the pacific. Kalo leaves reflect the elegant aspect of nature and remind us that beauty and sustenance are interrelated. The kalo earring and pendent set is vibrantly enhanced with tigers eye or blood stone, (as to imitate the handsome root of the kalo). Of course you may choose another stone suitable to taste.
