Puakenikeni means ten-cent flower. Lei makers during the "Steamer Days" (late 1800s to mid 1900s) strung Puakenikeni and sold them for a dime. The pua (flowers) are best harvested in the early morning. The first day it is white, the second day it is yellow and the third it is orange. • Our Puakenikeni Stud Earrings are approximately 0.4 inch or 10 mm long •Stainless Steel and Hypoallergenic •A portion of all sales of these earrings go to organizations that protect native Hawaiian plants and animals
