Continue ShoppingNew in 2024 we have invented several new designs with unique colors and designs. Akalei Designs continues innovating exclusively on Maui. All of our Glass Beaded Necklace Lei are handcrafted & woven using a Japanese braiding technique called "Kumihimo" on a wooden stand called a Marudai. We call our necklaces "Forever" Hawaiian Lei as they are made with hundreds of Japanese Glass Beads and/or Natural Fibers, so can last forever. We were showcased on "HI Now" in 2023 as part of the Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement / Pop-Up Marketplace and enjoy giving back to the efforts of Lahaina Strong and Kihei Canoe Club fundraising campaigns.
Glossy Pearl White Necklace Wedding Lei (women or men) - 34"
The pearly white glossy dragon scale beads are some of the largest beads made by manufacturers in Japan. We loaded every bead in one hole so it is smooth to the touch, but it also gives it a lovely glossy appearance. This is the another version of our White Wedding with the beads aligned and it has over 1000 Magatama beads in this necklace. This statement necklace is finished with a pearl white acrylic magnet end cap that has a strong hold.
See photo in our Testimonials for Danette Kong from Dec 2023 wedding. The matching bracelet featured in the first bracelet photo is a separate item available to order from 6" to 8" at $50.00 and we need 3-5 days to custom for you (the one pictured is 8" for a 7.5" wrist)
Akalei Designs make great gifts for woman, girls, and men! Akalei is the Hawaiian word for "bead reflections" which captures this unique style only available on Maui. We specialize in designing a wide range of modern yet classic Hawaiian looking lei. For customized orders please contact me at info@akaleidesigns.com.
Kumihimo is an ancient Japanese braid making technique that creates beautiful and durable interlaced necklaces and bracelets. This art form goes back hundreds of years as braids were made for use in armor of Samurai warriors. In modern times these braids are used for belts (obijime) on kimonos
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.
