This Kahelelani shell supply from Niʻihau offers a beautifully natural mix of soft pinks, creamy whites, and speckled earth tones, as shown in the photos. Size 13 is widely considered a perfect size for beginner, giving you enough shell presence to see patterns clearly while still being easy to handle for learning and practice.
For those planning a Manuʻa Loa style, this set can create close to 12" in length, using approximately 17 shells per inch. If your goal is a Poepoe style with four strands, expect to use about 50 shells per inch, making this set a practical choice for beginners who want to understand spacing, planning, and shell usage before committing to larger projects.
With each loose shell set, I always include a few extra shells in case any show slight natural imperfections. I carefully sort and inspect every set and do my very best not to include imperfect shells, but the extras are there to give you confidence and flexibility while creating.
