Two Kukui Nut Necklaces - Dark Brown & Light Brown - 18" - 1970s

Two Kukui Nut leis, dark brown and light brown (blond) which are traditional Hawaiian necklaces. They are made from the polished seeds of the kukui tree, which is the state tree of Hawaii. The nuts have been sanded, polished, and strung together. They are worn by both men and women for formal or casual events.    Cultural Significance: Historically, kukui nut leis were worn by Hawaiian royalty. Today, they are often given as a congratulatory gift for graduations or weddings and can be kept as a souvenir. They are both 18 long and in very good condition.  Thank you
