These handcrafted earrings feature 100% authentic Kahelelani shells (カヘレラニ貝) collected from the island of Niʻihau. The natural color blend includes Kahelelani ʻulaʻula (burgundy red), Kahelelani ʻākala (pink), Kahelelani ʻomaʻomaʻo (green), and Kahelelani mākuʻe (natural brown), creating a beautifully balanced and earthy tone that reflects the spirit of Hawaiʻi.
Each shell is hand-selected and carefully tied in the 4-strand Poepoe style, known for its full, clustered texture and graceful movement. The earrings are finished with polished white Puka tops and sterling silver hooks, offering a timeless, elegant island look. These earrings represent the true artistry of Niʻihau shell jewelry (ニイハウ シェル ジュエリー) — rare, meaningful, and made with aloha.
