This handcrafted Kipona style lei showcases the beauty of Niʻihau shell jewelry (ニイハウシェル ジュエリー) in a brilliant array of colors. Designed with poepoe (rounded) balance, the lei highlights harmony, tradition, and artistry in every strand.
The Momi shells (モミシェル) featured include:
-
Rare light ʻUliʻuli (blue)
-
Warm Lenalena (yellow)
-
Dark-spotted ʻŌnikiniki
-
Pure white Keʻokeʻo
-
Naturally striped brown Momi
Accenting the Momi are colorful Kahelelani shells (カヘレラニシェル) in deep red burgundy, bright red, black, green, soft pink, yellow Kamoa, and chocolate brown. This vibrant mix creates a lei that feels alive with the colors of Hawaiʻi’s shoreline.
Each shell was hand-selected for luster, tone, and symmetry, then strung securely in the traditional Kipona style. The result is a one-of-a-kind collector’s lei — perfect for hula, cultural celebrations, or anyone who treasures authentic Hawaiian artistry.
