This pendant necklace is a beautiful showcase of authentic Niʻihau craftsmanship. Designed in the two-strand poepoe style, it features genuine Keʻokeʻo Kahelelani shells (カヘレラニシェル) carefully matched for size and luster. The shells are strung into a soft, rounded section that measures 2" in length and 3/8" thick, giving the piece both elegance and texture.
Each tiny shell, smaller than a grain of rice, has been patiently poked and strung by hand, creating a compact, balanced design that highlights the natural beauty of Keʻokeʻo (white) shells. Finished with a 14K gold-filled fancy Italian chain, this necklace carries a refined yet natural look that transitions effortlessly from casual to formal wear. With an overall length of 17.5", it rests gracefully at the neckline, making it a timeless addition to any Hawaiian jewelry collection (ハワイアンジュエリー).
If you are new to Niʻihau shell jewelry or want to dive deeper into these treasured shells, I’ve been sharing detailed stories and lessons in my Kahelelani shell blogs. They’re full of insights about color varieties, quality, and the art of working with these tiny shells.
