Island neckwear is a term used to describe two types of traditional Hawaiian adornments: leis and leis. A LEI is a garland or necklace made of flowers, leaves, shells, feathers, or other materials. Leis are similar to leis, but are made of multiple strands of flowers or other materials. Both leis and leis are worn around the neck as a symbol of friendship, love, and respect. They are also used in traditional Hawaiian ceremonies and celebrations.
