In addition we are selling with Hawaiian Council at https://nameahawaii.com/collections/necklaces (We also book in-person appointments at the Kihei Studio). In Sept 2026 we will be away teaching for the American Kumihimo Society (18th to 28th 2026). Classes focus on confident beginners and emphasize the blending of Japanese tradition with island inspired Hawaiian necklace lei.
We reimagine traditional Hawaiian Lei to create "Aloha Inspired Forever Lei." Our designs merge an ancient Japanese braiding technique of kumihimo with the beauty of island colors and textures. We showcase our jewelry with the Lahaina Arts Society on Maui's West Side at the Cannery Mall .Check schedules on our website. All of our jewelry is handcrafted exclusively on Maui..
These unique glass beaded braids were inspired by the beautiful floral Lei (also known as Po’o) Lei traditionally worn around the head. Modeled after the beautiful Hawaiian island flower lei, the original Rose Petal Lei pattern were created exclusively by Akalei Designs. The traditional Hawaiian Lei are typically made from flowers leaves, feathers, or natural fibers resulting in vivid color combinations. However, we are able to expand the choices using a variety of materials and patterns resulting in some remarkable creations.
Ginger Lei are the latest Rose Petal style design for 2021 and combine the best of both the Rose Petal/Po'o Lei and the Orchid Lei for a distinctive truly original Hawaiian look and feel. See the photo sample below.
Any of these Rose Petal Necklace Lei (Original Po'o, Ginger, or the "Mini 3" or "Mini 5") can be customized for Weddings, Anniversaries or Special Holidays. Please send an inquiry to info@akaleidesigns.com.
