Origin: Niʻihau, Hawaiʻi
This listing includes approximately 165 pre-poked Momi shells prepared in the coconut flower style, ready for use in Niʻihau shell jewelry making.
The coconut poke style is believed to be named because the finished piece resembles the male inflorescence of the coconut palm. This versatile poking method can be used to create a variety of traditional styles, such as:
-
Heliconia style
-
Pikake style using two strands
-
Four-strand designs to give your creations a thicker, fuller look
These Momi shells are off-white in color with hints of light yellow and light blue hues, and they have good natural luster. Shells come in mixed sizes, ideal for a range of jewelry projects like earrings, bracelets, or lei.
