A graceful pair of earrings handcrafted in the pupu o Niʻihau style, featuring a flowing ombré design. These earrings are created with Momi keʻokeʻo (white) shells and deep Kahelelani mākuʻe (brown) shells, blending together with the extremely rare blue Momi shells (ブルー モミシェル – Momi ʻŪliʻuli). The natural gradient shifts from light to dark, adding depth and dimension to the design. At the base, a pair of semi-round 8 mm Tahitian pearls add luster and elegance, completing this refined look. Perfect for admirers of authentic ハワイアンジュエリー (Hawaiian jewelry), each pair is a unique treasure.
The rare blue Momi shells (ブルー モミシェル – Momi ʻŪliʻuli) are especially treasured. Dove shells are not born with this striking blue-gray color — it takes many years for them to slowly develop into this shade. This natural transformation makes every blue Momi shell a precious ocean gem, and one of the most sought-after colors in ニイハウシェル (Niʻihau shell jewelry).
If you would like to learn more about Momi shells — their colors, rarity, and history — I’ll be posting more information soon in my blogs. You can explore my current blog posts here: ShellsHawaii Blogs. This is a chance to dive deeper into the beauty of shells and discover why 貝殻ピアス (shell earrings) like these are loved around the world.
