A rare blue Haku Lei in our collection. The transparent blue (with gold highlights) rose petal beads are blended with golden smaller rose petal beads and a wild variety of blue drop beads in the focal section (which measures 11"). The ends are designed with matte denim blue seed beads (color may vary) and it is finished wit ha silver toned magnetic end cap with a small groove for added security. This lei has a sleek feel and drapes beautifully when worn. You will absolutely love it - and even better it is a perfect gift for a wedding or anniversary.
Modeled after the beautiful Hawaiian island flower lei, the necklace is available exclusively at Akalei Designs. This unique glass beaded braid was inspired by the beautiful floral Haku (also known as Po’o) Lei traditionally worn around the head. This lei has a sleek feel and drapes beautifully when worn.
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.
