These Kipona style shell earrings are handmade using genuine shells from Niʻihau, arranged carefully to create balance and movement in the design. The Kipona style allows different shell tones and natural patterns to blend together, making each pair unique and full of character. This traditional style of Niʻihau shell jewelry is appreciated by collectors as well as those discovering Hawaiian seashell jewelry for the first time.
The design highlights the natural beauty of Momi shells paired with tiny Kahelelani accents, creating a lively and elegant piece of tropical jewelry inspired by the ocean and the islands.
