In Hawai‘i, May 1st is “Lei Day,” a celebration of friendship and aloha shown through lei-giving. Stringing this necklace is like crafting a miniature sandalwood-and-pīkake lei you can wear year-round.
kuʻu·lei (koo-OO-lay) — Hawaiian for “beloved lei” or “sweetheart garland.” Our daintiest Lei Day strand: just three luminous pīkake buds, a whisper of bronze sparkle, and a halo of fine 4 mm sandalwood beads. Lightweight, fragrant, and perfect for layering.
Why you’ll love it
Petite & graceful – The slimmest of the three kits; ideal for everyday wear or stacking. Make it a choker or a 28" necklace, so perfect for layering!
Three-bud symbolism – Past, present, and future blessings captured in mother-of-pearl pīkake blooms.
Calming sandalwood aroma – Tiny 4 mm rounds release a gentle scent with every movement.
NOTE: This kit requires crimping so that you can wear it at a shorter length (between 16 - 20"). If you'd like the simpler over-the-head version with just a knot to tie, please contact us!

10mm Pikake Mother of Pearl beads - 3 pieces
