This complete Niʻihau shell kit is perfect for creating your own Herringbone-style Kahelelani shell lei. The kit features genuine Kahelelani shells from Niʻihau with naturally mixed sizing and beautiful natural luster, exactly as shown in the photo.
Size 14 and larger Kahelelani shells are considered a very large size and can be difficult to come by, making them a wonderful choice for beginners because they are often easier to handle while learning and practicing. These shells can be used to create Kahelelani shell lei, bracelets, or even minimalist shell earrings and delicate pendant designs.
