This listing is for a smaller bulk set of authentic Hawaiian puka shells (プカシェル), with 85 pieces (about 1 film canister). These shells are a mix of medium to large sizes, all with natural puka holes — no drilling, no artificial shaping. Each shell has been smoothed and polished by the ocean, with a lustrous surface and rounded opening that make them perfect for jewelry making.
Collected from the shores of Kauaʻi and Oʻahu, these puka shells shine with the same high quality, smooth finish, and natural luster as our larger lots. They’re ideal for:
-
Bracelets and choker-style necklaces
-
Men’s puka shell necklaces (using the larger sizes)
-
Earrings or finishing touches in Niʻihau-style jewelry
-
Craft projects and collections
This set offers a more manageable amount of shells while still giving you the authentic Hawaiian quality collectors and jewelry makers love. With only 85 pieces, it’s perfect for smaller projects or for those just starting to explore creating with puka shells.
