I love these! I just ordered a brown one.

 

[softgrey]

i just threw them on to give you guys an idea of how long they are...
they seem to be a nut from a plant that is native to hawaii...

they are painted with enamel-so shiny...
and there is a knot between each nut...
and a bow at the back...

pretty

i loove kukui nut necklaces. they are sooo much fun! people hang them from their car mirrors and doorknobs and stuff. good luck i think.

there is some crazy girls making amazing jewelry here with kukui nuts that are hand painted and mixed with other things. so incredibly cool! there is this one company that makes only assymetrical necklaces. i bought so many of them this semester!

I just bought some off EBAY, theyre gorgeous! I havent warn them as yet, because im not sure of the best occasion... more casual accessory i guess?

 

[oceanharlot]

hehe... wear them with a funky skirt and a white basic button up top, buttoned relatively low and a pair of cute flip-flops.

my favorite look with them...
