- Symbolism: Eia la he`ala, he`ala anuanu, he ala hu`ihu`i, eia la i ka houpo (Here is a fragrance, a cool fragrance, a chilling fragrance that goes to my heart). This native Hawaiian vine, with glossy, deep green, highly fragrant leaves, is a member of the periwinkle family and is also associated with Laka, the goddess of Hula. Maile along with other plants of the native forest were considered sacred to Laka and were offered at her altar during hula dance practices and ceremonies. In ancient Hawai`i, maile was also considered a peace offering in the field of battle. The highly fragrant Maile leaves were thought to possess supernatural powers and were directly associated with the gods and goddesses of Hawai`i. Today, maile leaves are used for decorations and leis, and are especially reserved for important and memorable occasions. Hawaiians have a long tradition of assembling the fragrant maile into lei. The placing of a lei over the head and around the shoulders of a person exemplifies the bestowing of honor and respect to the wearer, and also the spirit of aloha. It is known to many as the "Lei of Royalty". To have a lei maile is to be wearing a symbol that tells other people that it's your special day. Wedding lei maile are a Hawaiian wedding tradition. Maile is also commonly used to drape over a doorway at formal grand opening ceremonies for a new business to bring good luck. In place of cutting the ribbon, there is the untying of the maile. For Hawaiians, the Lei Maile has no other equal; to be given a Maile lei is a great honor and a true sign of respect.

Hence, Silver Jewelry Finished with Rhodium is Regarded as Tarnish Resistant. The Rhodium Finish Over Silver is Very Hard, which Enhances the Durability of the Silver Jewelry. Because Rhodium has a Greater Resistance to Scratching and Abrasion, it is Ideal for Use in Jewelry because it Keeps Silver Jewelry Looking New and Untarnished. Jewelry Care/Handling: Very Little Polishing is Required for Silver Jewelry Plated with Rhodium. On Occasion You May Want to Polish This With a Soft Cloth. It is Also Acceptable to Clean Rhodium-Plated Silver with Mild Dish Detergent in Warm Water. After Cleaning, Rinse Your Jewelry Thoroughly and Pat Dry. Do Not Use a Silver Liquid Dip as This Might Damage the Rhodium Finish. It is not recommended to use Harsh Cleaners, Detergents, Soaps, Shampoos, Jewelry Cloths or Jewelry Liquid, Chemicals, Chlorine, Body or Tanning Lotions, Ultrasonic Cleaners, Showering, Swimming in Pools or Hot Tubs or the Ocean with Rhodium-Plated Silver Jewelry. Maile of Ancient Hawai`i, Myths, Legends, Chants: To the Ancient Hawaiians, and even today, maile are believed to be sisters with human and plant forms. The highly fragrant leaves were thought to possess supernatural powers and were directly associated with the gods and goddesses of Hawai`i. They were considered minor goddesses of the Hula. Laka, the goddess of the Hula, was invoked as goddess of the maile, which was one of five standard plants offered at her altar during hula dance practices and ceremonies. Different Halau (hula schools) place more items on their Kuahu (altar) than others, but the five plants they all seem to agree upon are halapepe, 'ie'ie, maile, 'ohi'a and palapalai, for the different gods and goddesses who are patrons of the dance. Maile was also considered a peace offering in the field of battle and as a symbol of courtship and love. Its leaves were believed to protect the wearer, bestow good luck, and even possess healing powers. Among other sacred uses, it was used to signify a peace agreement between opposing chiefs. In a Heiau (temple), the chiefs would symbolically intertwine the Maile vine, and completion officially established peace between the two groups. According to Hawaiian tradition, maile was the lei for people of all classes and was worn by ke Ali`i (Royalty) and the Maka`ainana (Commoners) alike. The maile is the most traditional wedding lei, as it was used by Kahuna (Hawaiian priests) in old Hawai`i, and even today, to bind the hands of the bride and groom, symbolizing their commitment to each other. It was used to scent kapa cloth, or lau hala (weaved grass) sleeping mats. Ancient Hawaiians soaked their tapa or kapa (bark) cloth and clothes in large wooden bowls to take advantage of the sweet fragrance. Kapa is Hawaiian cloth made from the bark of the wauke tree (paper mulberry). Maile was used to scent kapa, either with leaves, or with the tiny flowers, which carry a faint vanilla scent in small clusters. The plant also was part of a medicinal treatment exclusively for chiefs. It was used in a puholoholo (steam bath) to sweat out an illness called kilikilioe. Maile is often mentioned in chants. When hula dancers, adorned with maile anklets, wished to lift a tabu (taboo), they would chant the Kapu-lifting Prayer: "Oh wildwood bouquet, oh Laka! Hers are the growths that stand here. Suppliants we to Laka. The prayer to Laka has power; The maile of Laka stands to the fore. The maile vine casts now its seeds. Freedom, there's freedom to me, Kahaula--A freedom twofold. Freedom, aye freedom! A tabu profound, a freedom complete. Ye gods are still tabu; We mortals are free." Maile is also mentioned in the Kumulipo (The Hawaiian Chant of Creation) under the 3rd Wa (Section), Verse 413: "Born the male for the narrow stream, the female for the broad stream. Born the Honu living in the sea. Guarded by the Maile Kuhonua (seedling) living on land."
