The Kukui Nut lei were worn by royalty back in the days of the Hawaiian monarchy.
Since Kukui is a source of light, it has come to symbolize enlightenment, knowledge, good luck and learning. For this reason kukui nut lei are often used by educators for conferences, special occasions, or ceremonies. It has also become appropriate to give lei kukui to students upon their graduation from school or program of study.
These are perfect for graduations, weddings, and parties.
