Two-Toned Green Orchid Lei Necklace - 22"
This unique blend of two green tones (Lime and Chartreuse) rose petal beads are separated using yellow picasso drops for another natural lei look. The gold toned metallic magnetic end cap helps ensure this will stay secure around your neck. Our necklace lei feel wonderful to wear and require little to almost no care by using a clean dry towel every few months to keep dust free and bright.
This beautiful handcrafted "forever" lei was made using hundreds of glass Japanese seed beads on multiple cords that are woven together on a Japanese wooden marudai stand. You will absolutely love it - and even better it is a perfect gift. These lei are typically made from flowers leaves, feathers, or natural fibers resulting in vivid color combinations.
Akalei is Hawaiian for "bead reflections" which describes this unique necklace lei design style available only here on Maui. We specialize in designing a wide range of modern yet familiar Hawaiian Lei for woman and men.
The necklace is created using an ancient Japanese braiding technique called Kumihimo, a Japanese word for “gathered threads". This art form goes back hundreds of years as braids were made for use in armor for Japanese samurai warriors. In modern times these braids are designed as belts (obijime) that are worn as a belt with a kimono.
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.
