Kukui Nut Lei
$16.00
Kukui nut leis are a striking display of traditional Hawaiian craft. Brought to Hawaii by the native Polynesian settlers, the kukui nut or “candlenut” is one of the most beautiful and important trees in the Hawaiian forests. While the oil was literally used to light lanterns, it also symbolizes the light within us, therefore this lei has deep meaning and may be given with the intention of honoring the light within the recipient.

RELATED INFORMATION
The kukui, or candlenut tree, was probably introduced to Hawaii by early Polynesian settlers, because it has always been an essential part of Hawaiian society. Oil extracted from the kernels was used for lamps. Dyes for tapa cloth were obtained from the roots and green seed covering. Polished kukui nuts were sewn into leis. Because the tree’s products played an important part in the daily lives of the Hawaiians, the kukui nut tree has been designated the State Tree of Hawaii and the lei made of its flowers and leaves represent the Island of Molokai.
