“Keshis are all natural because there is no nucleus inside – meaning the keshi pearl is nothing but pure nacre. The keshi pearl forms as a by-product of cultivation. Because nacre is precious material, keshi pearls are highly prized, being made up of nothing but pure nacre. For this reason, they are sold by weight like gemstones. All natural keshi pearls are unique treasures of rare and precious material.”
Arii Hawaiʻis Kāpala Jewelry Line was created for Native Hawaiian Designs that told stories about our History and our culture. Every design that I have created reflects a history behind my childhood growing up with a hula māmā and a Lawaiʻa pāpā. I believe that everything has a story and meaning that needs to be shared. To be educated and to help educate others about Our Hawaiʻi and Culture is my Kūleana and I hope you love learning different moʻolelo and words of our ʻōlelo Mākuahine¯
