This Heliconia-style shell pendant features an elegant ombré layout that flows naturally across the design, drawing the eye toward a luminous peacock-tone Tahitian pearl at the center. Inspired by the graceful shape of the heliconia flower, the shells are arranged to create gentle movement and a beautifully balanced look that sits comfortably when worn.
Created with genuine Momi and Kahelelani shells traditionally collected from Niʻihau, this pendant reflects the beauty of Hawaiian shell jewelry and relaxed beach-inspired style. Lightweight and comfortable to wear, this design is perfect for everyday use and makes a thoughtful island-style gift. The Heliconia style is one of the artistic forms of Niʻihau shell jewelry, celebrating balance, movement, and the natural flow found in island design.
