A beautiful collection of genuine Kahelelani shells from Niʻihau, carefully selected for their natural beauty and luster. This set of shells are small size shells. If you are a beginner and just starting your journey and not yet familiar with how to poke the holes, I recommend starting with at least size 12 or larger.
