This listing features 100 authentic Kahelelani shells in the beautiful Omaʻomaʻo (green) color. These shells have a matte finish and a lovely natural hue, making them ideal for traditional Niʻihau-style jewelry.
They are a great size for crafting, especially for herringbone-style strands:
-
For a single-strand herringbone, you’ll need about 17 shells per inch
-
For a 4-strand design, you’ll need around 60 shells per inch
These estimates are based on size 13 shells, which is exactly what you’re receiving in this listing.
Important Note:
? The herringbone lei sample shown in the photo is for reference only — it is not included with this listing. It demonstrates what can be created using size 13 Kahelelani shells.
Before Purchasing:
-
Please zoom in on all photos to closely examine the quality and color of the shells.
-
Shell color may appear slightly different depending on your screen or monitor settings. I photograph my shells with a digital camera and do not edit or alter colors — what you see is as close to the in-person color as possible.
-
If you have any questions about size, color, or quality, please message me before purchasing to avoid any misunderstanding.
