When we mention Hawaii, one sure-to-be-talked-about sport is surfing. Surfing was a central part of ancient Hawaiian culture. The first known occurrences of surfing are connected to the ancient Hawaiian tradition of “he’e nalu”, meaning “wave-sliding”. At that time the chief was the most skilled wave rider in the community with the best board made from the best tree. And the commoners could also gain prestige by their ability to ride the surf on their extremely heavy boards. Until now surfing is still popular in Hawaii. Louis Vuitton pays homage to the Hawaiian culture with its colorful and fun Charm Surf?which features 750 thousandths (18 kt) white gold and three diamonds and one yellow sapphire. Two hsades of pink lacquer is ornamented with hibiscus flowers, the state flower of Hawaii. Hawaii’s love affair with the hibiscus is long and ongoing. Back in the 1920s it was declared the official territorial flower, and in 1988, the native yellow hibiscus (Hibiscus brackenridgei), whose Hawaiian name is “Pua Aloalo,” became the official state flower. Hibiscus is used as an ornamental garden specimen, a foundation plant around homes, or as a dense hedge along the sidewalk. The back bears the inscription of ALOHA meanwhile Louis Vuitton signature is engraved on the rear. With a price of $4,250, this charm can be worn attached to a Charm bracelet or as a pendant.
