Quality: Assorted mix color, unpoked
This listing features a beautiful selection of mixed-color Kahelelani shells from Niʻihau. These shells are considered small in size (size 11) and come in a lovely mix of natural colors. They are perfect for experienced shell crafters who are comfortable working with smaller shells.
I personally use this size often in my own work, and they are ideal for creating:
-
Heliconia style
-
Kipona style (two or four strands)
-
Poepoe style (two or four strands)
Instruction Included
This set includes simple instructions on how to create four-strand tied Poepoe-style earrings using two colors to achieve a beautiful spiral design.
Please note: Instructions are included only with shell purchases and are not sold separately.
About the Photos
The Herringbone and Kipona earrings shown in the pictures were made using shells of this exact size (size 11). These samples are shown for design inspiration and are not included with the listing.
Please zoom in to view the shells closely. Some color variation may occur due to differences in monitor resolution. I always do my best to take accurate, natural-light photos without altering the true color of the shells.
