A gorgeous collection of genuine Kahelelani shells (ニイハウ シェル) from Niʻihau, Hawaiʻi, perfect for those who love authentic Hawaiian jewelry (ハワイアンジュエリー) and wish to experience the art of Niʻihau shell jewelry (ニイハウジュエリー) making.
Each shell carries the calm spirit of the islands — formed by the ocean, hand-prepared with aloha, and ready for your own creative design. Their soft matte (mort) finish gives a natural glow, just as traditional Niʻihau artisans prefer, and the mixed colors bring life and balance to your next handmade Hawaiian treasure.
These shells are ideal for creating Poepoe, Kipona, or Herringbone (Hili) styles, or for practicing shell threading and sorting techniques. They’re also wonderful for anyone exploring how to make Niʻihau shell jewelry (貝殻ジュエリー 作り方) or building a shell jewelry starter kit.
