A subtle look is created using Yellow Picasso Drops and Cream seed beads in this Hawaiian Lei Necklace. Inspired by the beautiful Pakalana lei famous for its amazing smell on the Hawaiian islands. This forever lei is finished with an etched silver toned metallic magnetic end cap and can be worn everywhere. These necklace lei feels wonderful to wear around the neckline and requires little to no care to keep it clean, dust free and bright.
Akalei is Hawaiian for "bead reflections" or "string of multicolored glass beads", which describes this unique style only available here on Maui. We specialize in designing a wide range of modern yet familiar Hawaiian lei. Our necklaces 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.
Kumihimo is an ancient Japanese braid making technique that creates beautiful and strong interlaced cords. This art form goes back hundreds of years as braids were made for use in armor of Japanese samurai warriors. In modern times these braids are designed as belts (obijime) used on kimonos.
