These 2 1/4" earrings, about 1/4" thick, are handcrafted in the elegant four-strand Poepoe tie style. Made with 100% genuine Niʻihau Kahelelani shells (ニイハウ カヘレラニ シェル), this pair carries a softer, matte finish that highlights their natural beauty rather than a high shine.
The arrangement blends ʻŌmaʻomaʻo (green Kahelelani), Keʻokeʻo (white), ʻĀkala Pua (pink flower), Mākuʻe (brown Kahelelani), and a touch of ʻŌmaʻomaʻo ʻĀhiehie (light green). In Hawaiian, ʻāhiehie means “pale” or “light,” giving this shade a softer, more delicate tone compared to deeper greens. The mix of these natural colors brings both earthy and floral tones together, creating a balanced, timeless look.
Sometimes shells collected from beaches with rougher sand develop this matte look, where a bit of the natural luster is softened by the ocean’s touch. This adds unique character and texture, giving each pair its own personality.
These earrings are a beautiful expression of authentic Niʻihau shell jewelry (ニイハウ シェル ジュエリー), strung with aloha and care to bring you a timeless piece of Hawaiian artistry.
