This Niʻihau shell pendant is created entirely with genuine Kahelelani shells, woven in a triple-strand Poepoe style that gives the piece a softly rounded shape and natural movement. The triple construction adds depth and structure while forming a gentle spiral look as the pendant rests.
What makes this pendant special is its calm, graceful presence. The design feels balanced and soothing, with a quiet elegance that reflects the patience and artistry behind traditional Niʻihau shell jewelry.
At the center, a luminous Tahitian pearl anchors the pendant, adding contrast and refinement to the shell work. Together, the pearl and Poepoe weave create a timeless expression of authentic Hawaiian shell jewelry (ハワイアンジュエリー).
