Lei Mālamalama - Four-Strand Seed Bead Necklace - Moku Collection

Lei Mālamalama - Four-Strand Seed Bead Necklace - Moku Collection
 
Island soul. Worn bold. Collected with purpose.
 
Soft blush tones. Golden light. Layered artisan beauty.
 
Handcrafted with four individually strung strands of premium Japanese seed beads, Lei Mālamalama captures the warmth of island sunsets and the soft glow of coastal light through rich texture, movement, and luminous color.
 
The necklace blends multiple styles of artisan-crafted Miyuki glass beads in a harmonious palette of matte tea rose, alabaster blush, warm gold, and shimmering metallic tones. Together, the layered strands create depth and dimension while maintaining an airy, effortless elegance.
 
The combination of bead shapes and finishes—including Rocaille seed beads, Delica beads, faceted heishi accents, and 24kt gold-plated details—creates a softly radiant design that catches the light beautifully from every angle.
 
Each of the four strands is individually strung on gold satin cord and gathered at both ends by 14k gold-filled connector rings, allowing the necklace to drape fluidly while preserving its layered silhouette.
 
Finished with a 14k gold-filled lobster clasp and extension chain, Lei Mālamalama offers versatile styling and a comfortable fit whether worn alone or layered with other treasured pieces.
 
Elegant yet grounded in artisan craftsmanship, this necklace embodies the warmth, softness, and luminous spirit of island-inspired design.
