ʻākau and Mala means Brown and gray in Hawaiian language. This one-of-a-kind "cinnamon bun" Pu·ka /ˈpo͞okə perfectly intertwined with Luminous Gray freshwater pearls, with a star of the necklace being an exquisite Black Tahitian Pearl is stunning, and a showstopper.
The mat finish of the brown Pu·ka /ˈpo͞okə along with the golden shimmer of the pearls is like a forever marriage in heaven! This color combo exudes a confidence and creates a sophisticated look.
Collecting brown Pu·ka /ˈpo͞okə, is not easy, and to find enough for a lei is even more special. I look through thousands, finally finding the perfect sizes is very satisfying, seeing it all come together.
What sets this lei apart from others, not only the colors, but the use of dark brown ethically sourced kangaroo leather to string the elements. It is 32", and it is adjustable to 15.5", providing many ways to enjoy her. Over-the-head design with a Tahitian Pearl being the manner of adjusting it moving up or down to your desired length. The ends of the lei are finished with 14K gold-filled beads and gray freshwater pearls. Every detail has been carefully executed.
