HOT ! Forbidden Island Inspired Black, Red and Yellow New Mexican Pueblo Style Dragon Scale - 33\"

We took Yellow Picasso Magatama Beads (dragon scales) and separated them using Matte Black and Red Picasso Seed Beads. The overall effect is similar to the Forbidden Island Inspired look, and is also is reminiscent of New Mexican Pueblo \"look\". For added effect we positioned the Magatama Beads facing two different directions for a unique attribute in 7 sections. These all make a perfect blend of colors in this Hawaiian Lei. The dragon scale beads are some of the largest glass beads made by manufacturers in Japan. A gold/brass metallic magnet has a strong hold for ease of putting on and removing. The bracelet is sold separately ($50), and can be made to fit your wrist .

By weaving over 800 beads in this necklace no two are alike. This statement necklace lei is finished with a magnet end cap that has a strong hold. Our segmented Hawaiian necklace designs are quickly becoming our top seller. This one is our third most popular combination of colors and bead shapes. We make more Kumihimo necklaces than all other vendors anywhere and our inventory grows each day. 

Our necklaces feel wonderful to wear and require little to almost no care by using a clean dry towel every few months to keep dust free and bright. This beautiful hand-crafted style necklace was made using hundreds of glass beads from around the world that are meticulously loaded onto multiple cords that are then woven together on a Japanese Marudai braiding stand (see photo).   

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. We specialize in designing a wide range of modern yet classic Hawaiian looking lei.  For customized orders please contact me at info@akaleidesigns.com.

Kumihimo is an ancient Japanese braid making technique that creates beautiful and durable interlaced necklaces and bracelets. This art form goes back hundreds of years as braids were made for use in armor of Samurai warriors. In modern times these braids are used for belts (obijime) on kimonos

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.
