This exquisite Niʻihau shell lei is handcrafted in the elegant Heleconia style, a design inspired by the tropical flower’s cascading layers. At its heart are rare blue ʻUliʻuli Momi shells (ブルーモミシェル), highly prized for their striking ocean-blue tones and luminous surface. These rare shells bring a vibrant brilliance that collectors seek and cherish.
Accenting the blue Momi are vivid Kahelelani shells (カヘレラニシェル) in a bold spectrum of colors — rich ʻUlaʻula (red/burgundy), dark and soft pinks, hot pink, deep burgundy, black, and subtle blends that highlight each transition. Together, they create a lei full of energy, warmth, and traditional artistry. Every shell is hand-selected for its color and luster, then strung with the utmost care in the traditional Niʻihau method.
This one-of-a-kind lei is more than jewelry — it’s a piece of Hawaiian heritage. Perfect for serious collectors or anyone who values the rarest and most meaningful expressions of Hawaiian jewelry (ハワイアンジュエリー).
