This Kipona-style bracelet is created using two traditional Hawaiian shell techniques. In Hawaiian, “Kipona” refers to mixing more than one type of shell in a single piece of jewelry, bringing together variety, harmony, and cultural beauty.
This bracelet features Kahelelani shells strung in a double-strand poepoe style, combined with Momi shells in a classic pikake pattern. The design is simple, traditional, and lightweight, with each shell hand-selected for its natural luster. The Momi shells show soft off-white tones that blend beautifully with the Kahelelani shells, giving the bracelet a gentle, timeless look.
