These authentic Niʻihau shell earrings are handcrafted in the traditional Poepoe style, where each tiny shell is strung one by one to form a soft, rounded design. Lightweight and naturally textured, this pair reflects the true artistry and patience behind Niʻihau shell jewelry.
In Hawaiian, Keʻokeʻo refers to “white,” but in Kahelelani shells this is often what I call the natural color — a creamy shade with faint pink rings or bands circling the shell. It’s the most common Kahelelani hue, and its gentle tone brings a serene, organic beauty to each piece.
