What is Kukui?

The Kukui Nut (pronounced "coo-coo-ee") is harvested from the state tree of Hawaii. The shells are hollowed, fried, polished, painted and strung together in a tradition as old as the islands themselves. Once worn by the reigning chiefs and kinds of Polynesia, these Kukui Nut accessories are now worn by all as a symbol of good luck.
