This Niʻihau shell pendant is created entirely with genuine Kahelelani shells, woven in a classic triple-strand Poepoe style that forms a soft spiral look as the strands wrap and flow together. This construction gives the pendant depth, structure, and a beautifully rounded shape, while highlighting the natural texture and subtle movement of the shells.
A luminous Tahitian pearl sits at the center, adding balance and elegance to the earthy shell tones. The spiral effect created by the triple-strand Poepoe style gives this pendant a strong yet graceful presence — a timeless expression of authentic Hawaiian shell jewelry (ハワイアンジュエリー).
