We're nuts over this Kukui Lei Necklace!  A simple, yet striking, necklace of 32 polished black & white hand strung and tied kukui nut pods on an elegant black silk bow. These kukui seeds are from the Philippines and they're known locally as lumbang. Traditionally, kukuis are used in the making of leis. A fun factoid: In ancient Hawaii the kukui nuts were burned in lieu of candles, which is why they are also called candlenuts. This lightweight necklace has a 20" drop which is perfect for framing a smaller necklace or for adding to your other strands. The black and white gives a chic vibe to this Pacific Islands necklace. This necklace can go with your beachy linen look or more dressed up evening attire.
