These genuine Niʻihau shell earrings are crafted in the traditional pikake style, but with a unique poking technique that gives the shells a slightly different angle. The result is a design that looks almost like tiny palm blossoms, delicate and full of island charm.
This pair features clean white momi shells, golden-yellow lenalena, and the earthy contrast of brown-spotted ‘ōnikiniki ‘āhiehie shells. The mix of shades flows naturally, creating a warm and organic ombré effect that feels both refined and playful.
Measuring 1 1/2" long, these earrings are lightweight, graceful, and full of personality. The design feels fresh yet rooted in tradition — a true treasure of Hawaiian artistry. In Japan, they are admired as ニイハウ貝ジュエリー (Niʻihau shell jewelry), cherished for their natural elegance and rarity.
