The word uhiwai is used to generally describe a heavy fog or mist, and it is also the name of a rain heavily associated with the area of Manoa valley. Hawaiian culture is steeped in love and mutual respect for 'aina (the land), as evidenced by the naming of different kinds of rain & wind. In many songs and chants about Manoa, one can see the references to the uhiwai mist which can persist throughout the day, in the very back of the valley.

This color palette is inspired by our life in Hawaii -- we hope you enjoy your DIY jewelry-making and craft projects with it!
