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 strands flow in a soft, twisting pattern made from rare Momi and vibrant Kahelelani shells collected entirely from Niʻihau. The set is beautifully accented with Tahitian pearls, adding a gentle touch of luxury to this traditional Hawaiian design.
The craftsmanship brings together natural luster, balanced movement, and a refined blend of Hawaiian seashell tones. With the added glow of Tahitian pearls in both the lei and the earrings, this matching set becomes a timeless treasure — perfect for collectors, special occasions, or anyone who loves meaningful handmade Hawaiian jewelry.
