KUKUI NECKLACE R-MC for all your Randolph-Macon College spirit events! From the state tree of Hawaii, Kukui Nuts are hollowed, dried, polished, painted and strung together in a tradition as old as the islands themselves. Once worn by the reigning cheiefs and kings of Polynesia, these Kukui Nut necklaces are now worn by all as a symbol of Good Luck.
