A lovely collection of Momi shells from Niʻihau, perfect for beginners learning Hawaiian shell jewelry making (ハワイアンジュエリー) or experienced artisans who enjoy creating detailed designs.
These shells are B grade, meaning they have a natural caramel tint mixed with off-white tones and good luster, though a few may appear softer in shine. This natural color variation adds warmth and beauty to your finished Niʻihau jewelry.
✨ Includes step-by-step beginner instructions for making Heliconia-style (ヘリコニアスタイル) earrings — a graceful design that flows like the petals of the Heliconia flower. The instructions are easy to follow and a wonderful starting point for your creative practice.
If you’d like to learn more about Momi shells, threading, or Niʻihau jewelry techniques, you can check out my beginner-friendly blogs I share guides, stories, and helpful lessons to support your journey with aloha.

Zoom in to review the shells carefully. I do my best to capture the true color using a digital camera and never edit to make the shells look lighter or darker than they are. However, colors may appear differently depending on your screen resolution.
Thank you for supporting handmade Hawaiian jewelry and for valuing the tradition of Niʻihau shellwork.
