Kukui Nut Leis & Shell Necklaces

Hawaiian Keepsakes

Discover the timeless elegance of Hawaiian tradition with our exquisite shell and kukui nut leis. While shell leis remind us of walks on the beach and time in the islands, the kukui nut lei holds a deeper meaning.  The kukui, or candlenut, was important in ancient Hawai’i because its oil was used to create light. To this day, it represents the eternal light within us, thus giving and receiving kukui nut lei remains an important custom.
