Based on Maui we live & work where Mana (spiritual energy) permeates everything surrounding us. This energy fuels our creativity as we live in harmony and draw wisdom from our relationship to the Hawaiian culture and nature. We weave each piece using an ancient Japanese braiding technique of Kumihimo to reimagine traditional Hawaiian Lei making to design our "Forever Beaded Lei".
Our Hawaiian Glass Beaded Lei are unique woven handcrafted designs made by weaving Kumihimo - a Japanese braiding technique with inspiration from the Mother Nature. We reimagine traditional Hawaiian Lei using a blend of fibers, shells, glass beads and anything beautiful to create our Forever Lei.
These beautiful beaded Forever Lei are made using a variety of white tones and textures (white, pearlized, glossy, transparent or matte). In our photos are two beautiful White Beaded Wedding Lei for Bride (26") and Groom (32"). As you planning to wed on Maui or want an unusual Wedding gift consider these beautiful necklace lei. We specialize in necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. These beaded lei are handmade on Maui and come with your choice of magnetic end caps (silver, gold, bronze, pearl white or sterling silver where applicable). There truly is no other place in the world to purchase these unique necklace lei. Only through Akalei Designs will you find these exclusive Hawaiian Forever Lei made using glass beads, fresh water cultured pearls, gemstones and nature's own materials (e.g., wood beads, shell, seeds).
