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.

-
Lenalena – buttery yellow Momi
-

-

-
Kahakaha ʻĀhiehie – golden-banded 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)
-

-

-

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.
