Maile Earrings & Necklaces by Hawaiian Heirloom Lei
We wanted to create a maile leaf as accurate to the real thing as possible, so our artists used real maile leaves from the Island of Maui. This smaller leaf variety from Maui is called ‘Maile Lau Li’i’ .
We only use creations of the Maile lau li’i in our earrings and necklaces. My husband Craig created the patterns for these leaves from real maile leaves and his memories of decades riding his horses and mules Upcountry Maui to his favorite maile patch at the top of Kaupo Gap on Maui.
