All of our Glass Beaded Necklace Lei are handcrafted & woven using a Japanese braiding technique called "Kumihimo" on a wooden stand called a Marudai JOIN US: We have been invited to Showcase our designs on Nov 2, 2024 at the Made On Maui Event held at the MACC. We are expanding our inventory to add various lengths on most all Dragon Scale Designs.
Each of the designs in this collection incorporate the use of contrast to give the desired effect in a beautiful spiral Kumihimo pattern. Blending and weaving of glass beads is an art form the Hawaiian jewelry world has just begun to explore. Additionally, the form of braiding in Japan of Kumihimo has recently evolved that ancient braiding technique to incorporate all styles of beads, gemstones, and pearls.
Akalei Designs, based on Maui, has helped to expand these two jewelry worlds resulting in vibrant jewelry designs filled with colors that inspire all artists to achieve new heights in the use of color and light.
