Aloha Flower Beaded Bracelet

Wow..it's been almost a week! Sorry I've been away from posting..I was a bit under the weather this week as well as working on a wholesale order for B-Side the Sea. Most of my newly made items have gone to her, however, here is a new item she hasn't snagged quite yet..



I was so excited to get the little Hill Tribe silver flower beads you see here..I thought they would look so happy with all the brightly colored stones.

And here are some earrings to match..

Brightly Colored Hawaiian Flowers Inspire Maui Jewelery Designer

Pua Aloalo
Hibiscus brackenridgei



The hibiscus, all colors and varieties, was the official Territorial Flower, adopted in the early 1920s. At statehood in 1959, the first state legislature adopted many of Hawaii's symbols as part of the Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS, state laws). It wasn't until 1988, however, that the yellow hibiscus which is native to the islands was selected to represent Hawaii. For this reason, you will see many older photos and postcards with the red hibiscus, or any other color for that matter, as the state flower. These weren't incorrect at the time.

The above picture and information was taken from 50states.com

We have so many beautiful colors of Hibiscus in Hawaii..here are a couple of pictures I have taken myself while out on walks in my neighborhood.





I find the bright colors and rich variety of flowers here on Maui very inspiring to my jewelry creating. While I enjoy the subtlety and elegance of creating pearl jewelry..I also love to create funky bright colored jewelry.




Here are some stunning orange pieces that I posted on my blog a while back:
