Golden sunshine lights up our morning hike in Kauai's Waimea Canyon, illuminating the rich, red earth. A rainbow is revealed, shimmering faintly yet full of color; a celestial path connecting the earth and the heavens.

Punakea (poo-nah-kay-ah); barely visible rainbow
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 pattern of Punakea varies from pen to pen and from our online photos—one side features more of the rich red and blue with bits of shimmering gold; the other side features the same red, blue, and gold within a lighter blue background. Your Punakea Maile Lei will be uniquely yours—no one will have one just like it, and that makes every Kanilea very special. Read about the items included with your pen.

Punakea 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 continuous connection with our 'ohana in the pen community.

Read about the items included with your pen. Additionally, we offer Punakea, which is created without our Maile Lei band.
