This handcrafted four-strand Kipona-style Niʻihau shell jewelry (ニイハウシェル ジュエリー) set pairs the luminous beauty of genuine shells with the luxury of Tahitian pearls (タヒチアンパール). Designed with aloha, the lei flows with creamy Momi (モミシェル) shells from Niʻihau and rare Kahelelani (カヘレラニシェル) shells from Kauaʻi in soft pink and deep burgundy, creating elegant balance in color and texture.
A radiant 12 mm Tahitian pearl anchors the lei, complemented by several 8 mm+ accent pearls whose natural peacock tones shimmer with depth and iridescence. Matching earrings complete the set, capturing the harmony of island artistry and timeless sophistication.
