Hooumi Seed-Jewelry Artisans
8° 53.2′ S · 140° 1.8′ W
Several Hooumi artisans string Marquesan seeds into jewellery in a style found nowhere else; strolling the village to meet them in their workshops is one of the brief's recommended experiences.
Practical
Coordinate is the OpenStreetMap node for Hooumi hamlet. The brief (2023) encourages buying directly from the artisans. Kandu (2016) also recommends the church and visiting Pena, a sculptor, in Hooumi. Land on Hooumi beach in line with the covered shed. Bring cash.
