Kukui Nut Necklace

Early Hawaiians used the tree's Kukui nuts for spiritual, medicinal, and navigational purposes; however, the most common usage was for light. When strung in a row on a palm-leaf midrib and lit, the nuts looked like candles. This is how the tree got its Hawaiian name, which means “light” or “lamp.” In English, it’s more commonly called the candlenut tree. 33" Long Strung on Brown Ribbon
