Continue ShoppingAs Hawaiian residents living on Maui we are reminded daily of the spiritual energy or Mana surrounding us. This energy fuels our creativity as we strive to live in harmony with our neighbors on this island. We draw wisdom and insights from our relationships to nature here, which allows us to reimagine traditional Hawaiian Lei using Glass Beads. By blending Japanese and Hawaiian art we make our Hawaiian Forever Lei. These Beaded Lei are unique handcrafted designs made exclusively by weaving strands of fiber (with beads) using an ancient Japanese braiding technique of Kumihimo. We use several looms - a Marudai, Kakudai and Takadai help us explore a wide variety of braiding styles. Mana is our Inspiration which comes from 'Āina, Wai and Eaea of these beautiful islands.

Kumihimo is an ancient Japanese braid making technique that results in beautiful and strong interlaced cords. This art form goes back hundreds of years as braids were made for use in armor of Japanese samurai warriors. In modern times these braids are designed as obijime that are worn as a belt with a kimono.
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.
