These earrings are handcrafted with 100% authentic Kahelelani shells (カヘレラニ貝) collected from the island of Niʻihau. The shells feature a gentle, natural mix of Kahelelani Tuaʻula kamoa (off white), Kahelelani ʻomaʻomaʻo (green), Kahelelani mākuʻe (brown), and Kahelelani ʻākala (pink). Each shell has a beautiful natural luster, showing the true glow that only genuine Niʻihau shells can offer.
The 4-strand Poepoe tied style gives these earrings their full, clustered texture and graceful flow. Topped with polished white Puka shells and finished with gold-filled hooks, this pair captures the natural beauty and elegance of Niʻihau shell jewelry (ニイハウ シェル ジュエリー) — timeless, authentic, and made with aloha.
