DESCRIPTION:
Elizabeth Laureta said Great. Enjoy reading this book. Great information for future purchase and something for the guest to read while visiting my ome.. "Five Stars" according to Pua. Love this book!!!
Discusses the history of the traditional Hawaiian necklaces made of seashells and explains how the necklaces are made.
"In this definitive book, written in a manner beautifully analogous to her subject, Moriarty intertwines multiple strands of narrative, from the social and cultural history in which the use of shells for adornment and currency is embedded, through popular lore of pre- and post-war Hawaiian history, to the technical aspects of making a shell lei, and its subsequent care and handling."
