HOT ! Raspberry Brown Dragon Scales Beaded Kumihimo Necklace - 30\"

These will surprise you and impress those who see you wearing it. The 30\" of dark brown beads pop of color (pink, black, brown) are unbelievable as they appear to be wooden but are glass beads. They have a metallic finish and will certainly gain attention while wearing. This beaded design will last forever (with normal wear and tear of course) as some of the largest glass beads made by manufacturers in Japan. This statement necklace lei is finished with a silver-toned metallic magnet end cap that has a super strong hold.  

We randomly load and then weave over 1000 Magatama beads in this necklace, so no two are exactly alike. See the photo of our model with 3 different sizes to give perspective on blending multiples like we do in Hawaii.

Our necklaces feel wonderful to wear and require little to almost no care by using a clean, dry towel every few months to keep ddust-freeand bright. This beautiful hand-crafted style necklace was made using hundreds of glass beads from around the world that are meticulously loaded onto multiple cords that are then woven together on a Japanese Marudai braiding stand (see photo).

Akalei Designs makes great gifts for women, girls, and men! Akalei is the Hawaiian word for \"bead reflections\" which captures this unique style only available on Maui.

Kumihimo is an ancient Japanese braid-making technique that creates beautiful and durable interlaced necklaces and bracelets. This art form goes back hundreds of years as braids were made for use in armor of Samurai warriors. In modern times these braids are used for belts (obijime) on kimonos
