This Labor-Intensive Flower Creation is Intricately Hand-Cut, Hand-Carved and Hand-Shaped Into a Traditional Hawaiian Pua Kiele (Tiare) Flower Design Using a Single, Premium Piece of a Australian White-Lipped Oyster's Mother of Pearl Shell. The Shell is High Detailed With Enhanced Polishing Techniques to Bring Out the Best Luster, Iridescence and Radiance of the Shell.

The Shell's Satin Patina Has a 3-Dimensional Quality, and at Every Turn of This Piece You See Radiance Traversing Across its Face. This Hawaiian Kiele Flower Features Seven Separated Petals Created by Carving Lines at the Central Portions of the Flower to Produce Petal Divisions.

About Tiare Flowers: Tiare (Gardenia taitensis) known as the Star-shaped Tahitian Gardenia and the Hawaiian Nānū or Kiele is said to be one of the many indigenous flowers of Hawai`i. However, some believe it was introduced to the Hawaiian Islands less than 100 years ago, while others believe the flower to be an ancient introduction throughout Polynesia via the Cook Islands, Society Islands and the Solomon Islands. According to one of the few Hawaiian Master Lei-makers, native gardenias, Nānū, once grew in the wetlands and forests on all of the major Hawaiian Islands. The native plants are rare now, but Nānū leis were always considered prized possessions, preferred by the ancient Hawaiians for their beautiful petals and especially for their heavy, sweet hypnotic-scented fragrance. In the legend of Ka'ala and Ka'aiali'i, the wahine of Lana'i presented Nānū leis to Kamehameha and others when they came to Maui for sport. The white blossom of Tiare flowers grows on trees and is related to the species of Gardenia. It gives out sweet fragrances that inspire the many types of floral perfumes, colognes, bath salts, lotions, oils, soaps and candles made in Hawai`i and throughout the South Pacific Islands. Tiare flowers are believed to relieve earaches, some forms of eczema and even heal wounds. The first recorded use of the flower was for migraine headaches. The sufferer immersed his or her head in a solution containing the bruised flowers. Other medicinal remedies from various places in Polynesia included a leaf-tea used for cleansing the blood in prenatal care and in the treatment of diabetes. Nānū trees have a lifespan of over fifty years and can grow trunks with diameters of over two feet wide. Mother of Pearl Care: Use mild soaps and water on mother of pearl to clean it, and avoid storing it with jewelry which may scratch it and wear away the luminous layers of nacre. About Australian White-Lipped Oysters: A large species of oyster from the Pinctada maxima family, found in the waters off Australia, Fiji, Tahiti, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Japan. These oysters grow in excess of 12 inches in length and can produce a wide range of South Sea cultured pearls in sizes from 8 mm to over 22 mm and in colors including silver/ white, pink, and cream. The White Lip pearl oyster has been valued by people in the IndoPacific region for centuries. Its shell was used for making jewelry, decorations, and tools, such as fish hooks and knives. The White Lip Oysters’ “mother of pearl” inner shell has beautiful iridescent qualities with a radiant white/off-white background color with cream overtones. This pendant is created from Australian White Mother of Pearl shells, the same shell of the oysters that give birth to superb South Sea White Pearls. The White Lip Mother of Pearl shell is surface polished to display a beautiful white shine along with its natural colored hues and iridescence. Gorgeous and radiant in appearance!
