This handcrafted four-strand Kipona style lei and matching earrings embody the artistry of Niʻihau shell jewelry (ニイハウシェル ジュエリー). Designed with aloha, the flowing strands combine rare Momi shells (モミシェル) and vibrant Kahelelani shells (カヘレラニシェル), all collected from Niʻihau. The set is accented with luminous Tahitian pearls (タヒチアンパール), adding refined luxury to the traditional Hawaiian design.
The lei features a centerpiece 10.69 mm semi-round Tahitian pearl, complemented by 8 mm pearls in each earring. The Kipona style layers shells into soft, twisting strands, creating graceful depth and texture. Every shell is hand-selected for brilliance and tone, highlighting a rich range of natural Hawaiian colors:
-
Keʻokeʻo (white Momi)
-
Lenalena (yellow)
-
ʻŌmaʻomaʻo (green)
-
ʻĀkala Pua (pink)
-
ʻUlaʻula (deep red/burgundy)
-
Keʻokeʻo Kahelelani (natural white)
Together, the shells and pearls form a rare, elegant combination — a true heirloom of culture, tradition, and island beauty.
