As a beautiful glass beaded necklace lei each necklace is handcrafted on Maui and involves meticulous attention to detail while braiding. The beads make patterns to look like flowers, but these lei will endure forever. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAkalei is Hawaiian for \"bead reflections\" which describes this unique necklace lei design style made only here on Maui. We reinterpret traditional Hawaiian Lei using a vast assortment of glass and natural beads, Japanese silk and synthetic fibers, and a wide variety of braiding techniques and inspirations from across the globe. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis beautiful handcrafted necklace lei was made using hundreds of glass Japanese seed beads on multiple cords that are woven together on a wooden marudai stand. The necklace lei is created using an ancient Japanese braiding technique called Kumihimo, a Japanese word for “gathered threads\". This Haku mini was hand braided by Randy Spicocchi, and the pattern was developed by Rebecca Ann Combs of DesignandAdorn.com.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKumihimo is an art form that 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Akalei Designs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42780574122149,"sku":"AK-2460","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0349\/6984\/5804\/files\/Pop-UpMakeke-AkaleiDesigns-SageGreenPicassoLentilBeadedHawaiianHakuLeiMini_5Clusters_-25in-FrontView.jpg?v=1712858327","url":"https:\/\/nameahawaii.com\/products\/sage-green-picasso-lentil-beaded-hawaiian-haku-lei-mini-5-clusters-25","provider":"Nā Mea Hawai'i","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
