Palace’s ornament honors Kawananakoa

Make a royal addition to your Christmas tree with a limited-edition ornament from the Friends of Iolani Palace. The 4-inch Royal Order of Kaumualii ornament — available for $25 — replicates Abigail Kawananakoa’s personal insignia. Made of solid brass with a electroplated gold finish, it celebrates Kawananakoa’s 90th birthday.

The original design was created by Kawananakoa’s grandmother Princess Abigail Wahiikaahuula Campbell to honor her husband and heir to the throne, Prince David Laamea Kawananakoa, a descendant of King Kaumualii, the last independent sovereign of Kauai.

The Friends of Iolani Palace releases a new ornament every year. Find the 2016 version at the palace and gallery gift shops. Visit iolanipalace.org or call 532-1050.
