Set of approximately 600–640 genuine Momi shells from the island of Niʻihau, Hawaiʻi — an affordable option for Hawaiian shell jewelry (ハワイアンジュエリー) makers and collectors. This set includes 2 film canisters, each holding about 300–320 shells.
These shells are unpoked and B–C grade, meaning you’ll find a natural variety: some still show a nice luster, while others are more matte. A small portion have big mounts — worn by the waves, so they may not be full-size shells, but they can still be used in certain designs. The majority are well-formed and usable, making this a great option for practice, casual jewelry projects, or mixing with higher-grade shells when you want variation in texture and finish.
✨ This set also comes with instructions on how to create Pikake style shell earrings, making it even more useful for beginners who are ready to try their hand at traditional Niʻihau shell jewelry (ニイハウシェル ジュエリー) techniques.
