Bracelet - Matte Black Magatama with Cobalt Blue Lined Magatama - (various)

We blend Matte Black Seed Beads with Glossy Black Picasso Magatama Beads for stunning look. The Black Magatama or Dragon Scale beads are some of the largest beads made by manufacturers in Japan. By placing dragon beads in two directions in the middle it gives each bracelet it's unique characteristics. And this bracelet goes well with one of  the matching beaded necklace lei with the same color scheme. The bracelet can be made from 6" up to 9" and is finished with an brass toned acrylic magnet end cap that has a strong hold. 

Our bracelets and 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. This beautiful hand-crafted style necklace was made using hundreds of glass beads from around the world that are meticulously loaded onto multiple cords that are woven then together on a Japanese Marudai braiding stand. Bracelet sold separately - can be made to match this necklace or make with only a round bead (not the dragon scales.) 

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.
