20 ¼" Niʻihau Shell Lei – Rare Multi-Color Kahelelani Shell Necklace #1075

20 ¼" Niʻihau Kahelelani Shell Lei – Manuʻa Loa Style in Natural Hawaiian Colors

This handcrafted Niʻihau shell lei is made in the elegant Manuʻa Loa style, using natural size 13 Kahelelani shells in a vibrant range of Hawaiian colors. Each shell was carefully selected for its luster, structure, and richness — then strung by hand in the traditional method passed down for generations.

Shell colors include:

• Keʻokeʻo (white)

• ʻUlaʻula (red burgundy)

• ʻŌmaʻomaʻo (green)

• ʻEleʻele (black)

• ʻĀkala pua (pink flower)

• ʻĀkala wai pāpipi (bright red)

• Kamoa (yellow)

• And a rare soft green hue

Kahelelani shells are the smallest and most treasured of all Niʻihau shells. Their brilliant natural tones — never dyed or altered — tell the story of Niʻihau’s ocean and tradition.
