The idea of Lokai came to our Founder & CEO, Steven Izen, when his grandfather was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. It made him think about the highs & lows that everyone experiences, so he wanted to make a product for himself and others as a reminder to stay humble through the highs and hopeful through the lows.
The Two Elements of Lokai
At the heart of every Lokai bracelet, you'll find two contrasting elements:
The White Bead: This bead contains water from Mount Everest, the highest point on Earth. It serves as a symbol of life's highest moments, our successes, and the peaks we reach. It reminds us to remain humble and grounded in times of triumph, to never lose sight of our values and the people who have supported us on our journey.
The Black Bead: Filled with mud from the Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth, the black bead represents life's challenges and struggles. It stands as a symbol of hope, encouraging us to stay positive and resilient during our lowest moments, to believe that we can rise above adversity, and that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
The Lokai Philosophy
Lokai bracelets are not just pieces of jewelry; they embody a philosophy of balance, mindfulness, and self-awareness.
Staying Grounded: In moments of success and achievement, Lokai reminds us to remain grounded. It encourages humility and gratitude, urging us never to forget where we came from and the journey that got us there.
Nurturing Hope: During times of hardship, Lokai inspires hope. It reminds us that even in the face of challenges, we can find strength, resilience, and a path towards better days. It encourages us to maintain a positive outlook and believe that we can overcome.
Practicing Mindfulness: Lokai bracelets serve as daily reminders to practice mindfulness. They prompt us to be present in every moment, to appreciate the highs and endure the lows.

They carry a message that goes beyond their simple design, inspiring us to live with humility, hope, and a profound sense of purpose. So, the next time you wear a Lokai bracelet, remember the meaningful message it carries and let it be your constant companion on your journey through life's highs and lows. Together, we can make the world a better place, one Lokai bracelet at a time.
