This is a beautiful set of authentic Niʻihau Momi shells, carefully selected for their soft off-white tone with light yellow hues and natural variation. Some shells also display reddish or black waha (mouths), adding unique contrast and richness to your design work.
All shells are un-poked and medium in size (approximately 4mm), with good luster and clean surfaces. This size is perfect for creating Pikake-style earrings, bracelets, or detailed multi-strand leis that appear graceful, balanced, and full of character.
This set also includes a step-by-step instruction sheet to guide you in poking and stringing Momi shells in the traditional Pikake (crown flower) style — helpful for both beginners and experienced artists.
To create a Pikake-style earring using two strands, you will need 12 shells to make one inch on each side — so this 400-piece set gives you plenty to design, create, and experiment.
Please Note:
