The simply sweet Hawaii Nei Bracelet has 8 perfect surf polished pukas - one for each Hawaiian Island: Hawaii, Kahoolawe, Maui, Lanai, Molokai, Oahu, Niihau and Kauai.
Hawaii Nei translates roughly to "our Hawaii" or "this Hawaii" but the phrase represents much more than the literal translation. The words are commonly used to refer to the beautiful islands of Hawaii and express the deep connection and pride that Hawaiians have for their land and culture.
Each Hawaii Nei bracelet is strung on hand twisted 6 ply rope (made from flat waxed polyester thread) in an almond shade of medium brown. The toggle closure is both secure and easy to use...just slide the small pearl to open or close the loop and slip the wooden bead in or out.
The pukas are drilled so that they stay in place and will not shift with wear.
PLEASE NOTE that the Hawaii Nei Bracelet size is measured by internal circumference. SIZE IS NOT THE END TO END MEASUREMENT.
To determine your size: measure the smallest part of your wrist, then add 0.25-0.5 inches. You may have to round up or round down for your final size. If you like a snug fit, round down. If you like a looser "bangle" fit, round up.
