Please Note:
-
I do not sell instructions separately, out of respect for cultural traditions and in hopes of avoiding further issues with vendors who are very protective of this unique art form.
-
The single-strand Kahelelani shell sample shown in the photo is not included; it’s only for size comparison.
Final Sale Policy:
All loose shell sales are final — no returns or exchanges.
Colors may appear slightly different depending on your screen resolution. I photograph each set as accurately as possible with my digital camera and do not alter the colors.
If you have any questions, or if you're unsure about size, color, or quality, please message me before placing your order. I'm happy to help.
Mahalo nui loa for your understanding and your support!
