This exquisite five-strand Niʻihau shell necklace (ニイハウシェル ジュエリー) is a one-of-a-kind expression of traditional Hawaiian craftsmanship. Handcrafted with aloha, it features radiant Laiki shells (ライキシェル) in golden Lenalena tones woven together with Kahelelani shells in soft pink, deep burgundy, lush green, rich chocolate, and bright Kamoa yellow.
Each Laiki shell has been carefully cleaned, polished, and freed from sand to reveal its natural brilliance. The five-strand design drapes gracefully across the chest, creating an heirloom piece cherished by collectors, hula performers (フラダンサーのレイ), and those who appreciate authentic Hawaiian jewelry (ハワイアンジュエリー).
