This pendant is handcrafted with 100% genuine Kahelelani shells (カヘレラニ貝) collected from the island of Kauaʻi. The shells are all a rich chocolate color, chosen for their natural good luster and perfectly even tone. Each shell reflects the deep warmth of Kauaʻi’s sands and ocean, creating a simple yet elegant look that pairs beautifully with the centerpiece pearl.
At the heart of the pendant rests a 9.36 mm semi-round Tahitian pearl in a matching chocolate hue, glowing with very good luster. Designed in the 3-strand Poepoe style, the shell section measures 2 3/4" long and 1/4" thick, with an overall length of 19 3/4" including the chain. Finished with polished white Puka tops and a 14K gold-filled fancy Italian chain, this design is timeless, refined, and made with aloha.
