This unique pearly rainbow white (flecks of silver & blue) necklace lei is perfect for a variety of occasions, including weddings. Only Akalei Designs is creating these beautiful glass beaded necklace lei. The small rose petal beads (360 petals are woven into this necklace) make the perfect stylish braided necklace reflecting the beautiful island flower lei. The 25” necklace was created using 8mm luster white rose petal glass beads with luster white seed beads in-between the petals and on either side of the 16” focal center section. This lei has a sleek feel and drapes beautifully when worn and is finished with a silver toned strong magnet end cap.
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, girls, men and boys. This beautiful handmade lei was created using hundreds of glass Japanese seed beads on multiple cords that are woven together on a wooden marudai stand (in a kongo gumi kumihimo braid pattern).
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 can be customized to your desired length- simply convo me at info@akaleidesigns.com.
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 pride 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.
