This handcrafted four-strand Kipona style lei and matching earrings are a radiant expression of Niʻihau shell jewelry (ニイハウシェル ジュエリー). The design blends the glossy brilliance of Momi shells (モミシェル) with colorful Kahelelani shells (カヘレラニシェル), accented by the natural elegance of baroque Tahitian pearls (タヒチアンパール).
Each shell is hand-selected for quality and color, then woven into flowing strands that drape softly with movement and fullness. If you love Hawaiian seashells, handmade island jewelry, and pieces created with patience and aloha, this set is a beautiful addition to any collection.
