Design Highlights
-
Ornament 1 – Silhouette Style:
Showcases the summit ridge, crater floor, and Haleakala’s rare alpine flora. Look closely to see night sky accents, silversword plants, and a side profile of the 10,023-foot volcanic peak. The outer ring features engraved coordinates (20.70° N, 156.17° W) and park landmarks like Summit Crater, ‘Āhihi Kīna‘u, and the Science City observatory. -
Ornament 2 – Color Style:
Hand-painted in earthy lava reds, golden sunrise hues, and soft purple skies. These tones highlight the volcanic summit’s rugged terrain alongside the vibrant rainforest landscapes near ‘Ohe‘o Gulch. As a result, this version beautifully blends sky, stone, and tropical foliage.
