This Niʻihau shell pendant is created entirely with genuine Kahelelani shells, woven in a triple-strand Poepoe style that gives the piece fullness, strength, and a softly rounded form.
What I love most about this pendant is the sense of confidence it carries. Even with a complex arrangement, the balance feels natural — nothing overpowers the other. Each element has space to shine, creating a lively rhythm that feels warm, celebratory, and full of personality.
At the center, a luminous Tahitian pearl anchors the design, adding calm and elegance to the shell work. The triple-strand Poepoe structure gives this pendant a strong presence while allowing the overall design to flow naturally — a heartfelt expression of authentic Hawaiian shell jewelry (ハワイアンジュエリー).
