Aloha and welcome to Kahelelani Shells Information.
This space is dedicated to learning about Kahelelani shells — one of the rarest and most treasured shells used in Niʻihau shell jewelry. Here, you’ll find stories, explanations, and visual guides covering Kahelelani shell colors, size, rarity, grading, and craftsmanship.
Much of what is shared here comes from my own hands-on experience — years of collecting, sorting, grading, and working with Kahelelani shells. My hope is that this section helps you understand not just how Kahelelani shells look, but why they are so special and deeply valued.
