Snow appears on the Big Island for a few days every spring, blanketing Kona's coffee plants in fragrant, white blossoms. Soon flowers turn to green berries, hinting at the delicious promise to come.

Maile (MY-leh); sacred Hawaiian plant with fragrant, dark green leaves 

Each Kanilea pen is unique in color and pattern because our pens are handmade and our acrylic material is hand-poured. The "snow" pattern varies from pen to pen and from our online photos. Your Kona Snow Maile Lei will be uniquely yours—no one will have one just like it, and that makes every Kanilea very special. 

Kona Snow Maile Lei is created with a wide Argentium Silver band featuring a lei of maile leaves. A lei made of maile leaves expresses many meanings and is used to celebrate important life events or is given as a sign of friendship. Traditionally, a maile lei is worn draped around the neck, open ended, but closed maile leis are also made. Our Maile Lei band represents an unbroken circle of love, respect, peace, and friendship—here, maile leaves dance around band in celebration of Kanilea's ontinuous connection with our 'ohana in the pen community.

Your Kanilea pen will be handcrafted with aloha especially for you. Please allow approx. 6–8 weeks for completion.
