Mixed Size Momi Shell Supply – Approx. 350 Shells (Good Luster, Un-poked)
Origin: Niʻihau, Hawaiʻi
This listing includes approximately 350 un-poked Momi shells in mixed sizes. These shells are very good quality, perfect for creating traditional Niʻihau shell jewelry. The shells are off-white in color, with some showing light yellow or even light blue hues. They feature a beautiful, natural luster that makes them ideal for use in earrings, leis, and other handcrafted pieces.
Includes Instructions:
This set comes with a basic guide on how to create Heleconia-style shell earrings. While these instructions use Momi shells, I personally prefer to use Kahelelani shells in size 10 or 11 when I make this style.
The instructions are straightforward and beginner-friendly. Please take your time, follow the steps, and with a little patience, you'll develop a better feel for the process. If you have any questions at any point, feel free to reach out — I’m always happy to help!
Important Note:
I do not sell the instructions separately. This is to respectfully avoid further issues with vendors who are highly protective of this treasured Hawaiian art form. Mahalo nui loa for your understanding — and thank you so much for supporting my work.
