Mixed Size Momi Shells – Approx. 350 Shells (Good Luster, Un-poked)
Origin: Niʻihau, Hawaiʻi
This listing includes approximately 350 un-poked Momi shells in mixed sizes. These are high-quality shells with a lovely off-white color and very nice natural luster — perfect for crafting authentic Niʻihau shell jewelry.
Bonus Included:
This set comes with step-by-step instructions on how to create Heliconia-style shell earrings. While the guide features Momi shells, when I personally make Heliconia-style earrings, I typically use Kahelelani shells in sizes 10 or 11 for best results.
The included instructions are simple and beginner-friendly. With a little patience and practice, you’ll gain a better understanding of the process. And if you ever need help, I’m just a message away.
Please note: I do not sell instructions separately. This is to help preserve and respect the tradition, especially considering past issues with vendors who are highly protective of this beautiful Hawaiian art. Mahalo nui loa for your understanding, and thank you so much for supporting my work!
