This one-of-a-kind set blends the timeless tradition of Niʻihau shell lei-making with the rare beauty of a 25 mm Moonrise shell (Langford’s Pecten) from Oʻahu. Known for its striking blue-gray shimmer, the Moonrise shell reflects ocean depth, water clarity, and natural age — making each pendant extremely rare and highly prized by collectors.
Surrounding the Moonrise centerpiece is a radiant mix of Momi shells (モミシェル) and Kahelelani shells (カヘレラニシェル), carefully selected for color, luster, and cultural meaning. Shells featured include:
-
Dark blue ʻUliʻuli Momi (ブルーモミシェル)
-
Yellow Lenalena Momi (from Kapae)
-
Black-spotted ʻŌnikiniki
-
White Keʻokeʻo Momi
-
Dark pink ʻĀkala Pua
-
Black ʻEleʻele
-
Soft pink ʻĀkala ʻĀhiehie
-
Red ʻĀkala Wai Pāpipi (from Pukaiki)
-
Deep burgundy ʻUlaʻula
-
Yellow Kamoa, Ice Cream Kamoa, and Chocolate
-
Natural white Keʻokeʻo Kahelelani as accent shells
This heirloom-quality set includes matching earrings, echoing the lei’s vibrant colors and design. The result is a treasured representation of aloha, heritage, and the artistry of authentic Niʻihau shell jewelry (ニイハウシェル ジュエリー).
