This set of 100 un-poked Momi shells from Niʻihau is a jewelry maker’s dream — soft off-white tones with a creamy glow, touched here and there with faint golden undertones from the ocean. Their beautiful natural luster catches the light just enough to make each piece stand out in your finished work.
Momi shells belong to the dove shell family (Columbellidae) and have been a favorite for generations of Niʻihau artisans. They’re strong, timeless, and incredibly versatile, pairing effortlessly with Kahelelani or Laiki shells. The mix of sizes in this set gives you the freedom to design anything from delicate earrings to full, layered leis.
Since these shells are un-poked, you’ll be able to place each hole exactly where you want it — giving you complete creative control over spacing, pattern, and style.
