This elegant lei is handcrafted in the Heleconia style (Pupu O Niʻihau), a traditional Hawaiian design inspired by the layered shape of the heliconia flower. Each Momi shell is carefully selected for its natural beauty and arranged to create a flowing, sculpted pattern that gives this style its signature look.
Accented with rare Kahelelani shells and completed with a baroque Tahitian pearl centerpiece, this piece carries both the artistry of Niʻihau craftsmanship and the refined beauty of island jewelry. Lightweight and comfortable, it is perfect for both special occasions and everyday elegance.
If you admire Hawaiian seashells, Niʻihau shell jewelry (ニイハウシェルジュエリー), or handcrafted Hawaiian gifts, this Heleconia-style lei is a beautiful and meaningful choice.
