History of the Kukui Nut Lei

Historically, kukui nut leis were only worn by royalty; usually by the ali'i (reigning chiefs of an entire island). Today, the kukui nut leis are worn in hula performances or given as a congratulatory gift.  These are perfect for graduations, weddings, and parties. The kukui nut tree is Hawaii's state tree.
