This complete Niʻihau shell kit is perfect for anyone interested in creating their own Herringbone-style Kahelelani shell lei. The kit features authentic Kahelelani shells from Niʻihau with naturally mixed sizing that helps create a more organic and flowing design, exactly as shown in the photo.
Size 14 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.
