It was inspired by the multi-strands made famous by Ni'iHau Shell Necklace Strands. With this versatile necklace, you can use your creativity and style to keep the strands loose or twist them to have a totally new look.This long necklace lei was made by weaving two different necklace beading techniques. The Kumihimo section uses a Kongo Gumi Spiral where we used Yellow Picasso Seed Beads. The loose strands were threaded not woven and were made using twelve-hundred three-sided Pinch Beads in Metallic Topaz\/Gold, Transparent Topaz White Rainbow, and Cream. The necklace is finished using a acrylic magnet so it will be easy to put on\/off.  This is a one of a kind necklace. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAkalei is the Hawaiian word for \"bead reflections\" which describes this unique style only available here on Maui.
