VTG Hawaiian Kukui Nut Lei 30" Brown w/ Hand Painted Pink Hibiscus Ribbon Tie

This vintage Hawaiian Kukui Nut Lei is a vibrant celebration of island tradition, featuring hand-painted pink hibiscus flowers on polished dark brown kukui nuts, each measuring approximately 1 inch in diameter. The lei is hand-tied with a brown ribbon, offering both adjustability and symbolic flair, and measures 30 inches in length. The hibiscus flower, Hawaii’s state flower, represents delicate beauty and joy, while the kukui nut—from the candlenut tree—has long symbolized enlightenment, protection, and peace.

The ribbon tie isn’t just decorative—it’s a nod to personalization and ceremonial use, allowing the wearer to adjust the fit and often chosen in colors that reflect the occasion or school colors for graduation.
