This exquisite, handcrafted lei is a timeless expression of Niʻihau shell artistry (ニイハウシェル ジュエリー). Strung in the classic Pikake style, it features five strands of Grade A Momi shells (モミシェル), carefully selected for their exceptional quality, luminous luster, and rare coloration.
The shell palette includes:
-
Brown-striped ʻŌnikiniki ʻĀhiehie
-
Blue ʻUliʻuli (ブルーモミシェル)
-
Dark yellow Lenalena
-
Light yellow Lenalena
-
White Keʻokeʻo
Each shell was chosen for brilliance and uniformity, then arranged in the soft, clustered Pikake form — a traditional design that embodies elegance, balance, and cultural pride. With its five gracefully draping strands, this lei is not only jewelry but a true work of Hawaiian heritage.
