This beautiful set contains 100 un-poked Momi shells from Niʻihau, treasured for their natural shine and versatility in Hawaiian shellwork. These shells are a soft off-white with a creamy hue, some touched with faint golden undertones from their time in the ocean. Their high luster gives them a polished, almost glowing look when paired together in jewelry.
Momi shells are members of the dove shell family (Columbellidae) and have been a favorite choice for Niʻihau artisans for generations. The mix of sizes in this set makes it easy to design everything from delicate earrings to fuller leis or bracelet patterns.
Since these shells are un-poked, you have full control over hole placement to suit your exact design needs — whether you prefer a classic Pikake style, a traditional crown flower cluster, or something uniquely your own.
