This Kipona-style shell pendant brings together two classic Niʻihau shell techniques — double-double Pikake and Poepoe, tied with Kahelelani shells — creating a balanced design that feels both traditional and timeless. At the center sits a luminous peacock-colored Tahitian pearl, adding depth and a natural focal point to the flowing shell arrangement.
This pendant is lightweight and comfortable, making it perfect for everyday wear. If you are a Niʻihau shell lover, this is one of my favorite designs and a longtime best seller. It reflects the beauty of island-style jewelry created from shells collected along Niʻihau beaches — shells that are truly unique. Niʻihau shells are the only shells in the world that can be insured as gemstones, making each piece not only beautiful, but exceptionally special.
