Custom Maile Ring

This is a ring that is made of diamonds from the family.They were a wonderful woman's mothers diamonds, sometimes its hard to know what to do with a few scattered pieces of jewelry. So we combined some of the nice diamonds into a ring that she would wear.

The ring is made of maile leaves overlaying each other to hold in the diamonds, it is made with the rich colored 18k yellow gold with a low profile for a comfortable fit.


Maile is a lei used for many ceremonial uses, it is used to bless a new place, it is used in weddings and is given at graduations. The symbolism for this wonderful woman is that it is a new beginning to connect her to the islands with the history of her mother surrounding her.I hope it brings her great joy, it was a joy to make it!
