This 17" Kahelelani shell (カヘレラニ シェル) lei has been lovingly restored and brought back to life. The original lei arrived to me in fragile condition — with missing shells, areas where epoxy made shells unusable, and some shells poked for herringbone style that didn’t quite align. Many imperfect shells needed to be replaced, so I carefully took the lei apart, selected new matching shells, and restrung it with stronger thread for lasting beauty.
The result is a refreshed lei that now flows gracefully with a warm, natural color palette: deep burgundy, golden yellow, soft pink, and natural brown. Each shell has been matched for size and carefully restrung, and the lei is finished with a 14k gold-filled safety clasp, making it both secure and easy to wear.
Restoring a piece like this takes patience, time, and aloha — every shell was checked, every detail considered, so this lei could be reborn in better condition and enjoyed for many more years.

Repair
I want to thank Janjira for the repair on the wife's Lei. Thos is the second repair she has done for us, the first being earrings with one missing half of the shells. She did a fabulous job both times and both were not purchased from her. From now on, anything we buy will be thru her. Thank You for the time and care you did to restore the Lei! I feel it is better then when we first got it!
