These Heleconia style earrings are handmade using genuine shells from Niʻihau, arranged in a lively floral design inspired by the tropical heliconia flower. This traditional Niʻihau shell jewelry style highlights the beauty of natural shells layered together to create a vibrant and elegant piece of Hawaiian seashell jewelry.
The Heleconia design allows different shells to form small petal-like layers that create movement and texture within the earrings. Each pair carries its own personality, making them a beautiful example of handcrafted Niʻihau shell jewelry.
