This exquisite lei is a one-of-a-kind heirloom, handcrafted in three strands that blend two traditional Niʻihau patterns — the soft flow of Pikake style and the layered elegance of Heliconia style. A true collector’s piece, it showcases some of the rarest Momi shells (モミシェル) and a vibrant mix of Kahelelani shells (カヘレラニシェル), brought together in perfect harmony.

Pikake Style

The Pikake portion features some of Niʻihau’s most sought-after Momi colors:

  • ʻUliʻuli – rare deep blue Momi (ブルーモミシェル)

  • Lenalena – buttery yellow Momi

  • ʻŌnikiniki ʻEleʻele – black-spotted Momi

  • ʻŌnikiniki ʻĀhiehie – brown-spotted Momi

  • Kahakaha ʻĀhiehie – golden-banded Momi

  • Keʻokeʻo Maikaʻi – pure white Momi

Heliconia Style

Accented with clusters of colorful Kahelelani shells, adding vibrant depth:

  • ʻEleʻele (black)

  • ʻĀkala Pua (soft pink)

  • ʻŌmaʻomaʻo (green)

  • ʻUlaʻula (deep red/burgundy)

  • Keʻokeʻo (white)

  • Kamoa Lenalena (yellow)

  • Kamoa ʻIliʻālani (bright yellow)

  • Chocolate

Every shell is carefully selected for luster, shape, and natural brilliance, then woven together with skill and aloha. The result is a powerful expression of Hawaiian artistry, making this lei a true treasure for collectors.
