This set includes 100 genuine Kahelelani shells from the island of Niʻihau, Hawaiʻi, in size 11 — a tiny, detailed size that adds beautiful texture to your Hawaiian shell jewelry.
The mix includes a wonderful range of natural Hawaiian colors:
-
ʻĀkala – soft blush to deep pinks
-
ʻŌmaʻomaʻo keʻokeʻo – green
-
ʻUlaʻula – deep red
-
Lenalena – golden tan
-
Kōhua keʻokeʻo – white with brown speckles
These shells have a matte (mort) finish, giving them a softer, natural look that works perfectly in traditional Niʻihau lei-making styles.
Size 11 shells are perfect for designs such as Herringbone (Hili), Manu ʻā loa, Heliconia, or Kipona style. You can use them alone for delicate work or combine four strands for a fuller, more dramatic piece. If you’re new to working with shells, I recommend starting with size 12 or larger before moving to this size — but for experienced crafters, they’re a joy to create with.
