Akalei is Hawaiian for "bead reflections" which describes our unique necklace lei design style available only here on Maui seen on our website and at PopUp Mākeke. We specialize in designing a wide range of modern yet familiar glass beaded Hawaiian Lei for woman, girls, men and boys. These particular items are my favorite to make as I was raised in Northern New Mexico yet these colors look and feel similar to our world on Maui.
It is my goal to provide you with a long lasting, beautiful piece of jewelry that you will enjoy wearing for years to come. I take great care in the construction of my pieces to ensure just that. Please note: colors may slightly differ from their appearance on your display, as it depends on your monitor settings.
