Hawaiian White Rattail Pikake Flower Silk Maile Lei

Description

Aloha to all you Hawaiians and Hawaiians at heart!
Giving a lei to someone can mean friendship, love, or just simply Aloha.  Special feelings and meanings go into making a lei, especially one that becomes a treasured keepsake.  A lei is placed over the recipient's head and worn over the shoulders draped both front and back.  The placement of the lei is traditionally followed by a kiss!
There are many opportune times for giving someone a fragrant flower lei.  The custom was made internationally famous decades ago when visitors were greeted with lei upon their arrival to the islands.  Today, the giving of a lei to someone arriving or departing our islands still continues, and the lei is often kept as a memento of the special memories of the occasion.
The art of lei making has evolved over the years and now it is common to use new materials like ribbon, fabric, wooden beads, mylar, trims, yarn, candy, clay and money.
A lucky eBayer will receive this handcrafted white rattail lei, simulating the pikake flower, entwined into silk maile leaves.  Maile leis are traditionally associated with royalty.  They are given on special ocassions such as birthdays, weddings, graduation and retirement.  Make your next gift one with island flair.  Uniquely Hawaiian, this treasure makes a wonderful keepsake!
