1 3/4" Heleconia Style Niʻihau Shell Earrings – The Niʻihau Shell Art of Hawaiian Seashells #2751

These Niʻihau shell earrings are created in the Heleconia style, a design inspired by the layered shape of the tropical heliconia flower often seen in Hawaiʻi. In this traditional Niʻihau shell jewelry style, the shells are arranged carefully to form small petal-like layers that create a delicate floral pattern. The result is a lively and elegant pair of Hawaiian seashell earrings that reflect the beauty of Niʻihau shell art.

The Momi shells in this pair are beautifully thick layered shells with creamy off-white tones and a soft yellow warmth underneath. Many of the shells show natural black waha edges near the opening, which adds contrast and character to the design. Running through the center are tiny pink flower Kahelelani shells that form the signature Heleconia floral pattern, bringing a bright and cheerful accent to the creamy Momi shells.
