Customer Review
This stunning momi shell lei is absolutely beautiful and made with so much care and aloha. From the moment I opened the package, I could feel the intention, craftsmanship, and respect for tradition in every detail. The lei arrived safely, was thoughtfully packaged, and exceeded my expectations in both quality and beauty. Janjira was wonderful to purchase from — kind, communicative, and clearly passionate about her work. I’m truly honored to own such a special piece of Niʻihau shell jewelry and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for something meaningful, authentic, and made with heart. Mahalo nui loa.

I had a special request with my order. Mrs. Janjira instantly replied to all correspondence. Shipping was fast and the final product was even more beautiful than the pictures. She's a true artist. Quality of product and full ordering experience couldn't have been better.
Janjira made the whole experience great, from start to finish. The shells are absolutely beautiful and they came with an explanation of where they're from and how the earrings were crafted, giving them a personal feeling. I will definitely order more from this artist.

I want to thank Janjira for the repair on the wife's Lei. Thos is the second repair she has done for us, the first being earrings with one missing half of the shells. She did a fabulous job both times and both were not purchased from her. From now on, anything we buy will be thru her. Thank You for the time and care you did to restore the Lei! I feel it is better then when we first got it!

✨N from Cheshire, OR
A wonderful message from customer that truly made my day!
“I am so happy with the pieces you sent me. Your work is just so full of palpable aloha, I can’t say enough good things. The earrings are hanging in my mini museum, and I am wearing the necklace — it’s more wonderful than I imagined. She even mentioned her little museum, which is so fun and means a lot to me. I am very honored.”
This necklace is so pleasing, even better than I thought it would be! The shells are so tiny , and the design is so wearable. It is lightweight, and something I can wear every day to express my love for Kahelelani leis. Janjira's aloha shines thru all her communication and craftsmanship, and above all her fantastic designs.
I am so happy with these earrings!
Thank you Janjira, its been such a pleasure seeing and now owning some of your beautiful creations

Beautiful message from customer after receiving her order:
“Your Heliconia Niʻihau earrings are far more beautiful than I expected. Your craftsmanship is stunning. Especially your choices of nā Kahelelani shells. Absolutely gorgeous. Mahalo piha.”
✨D from Ukiah, Oregon
I wanted a matching set of earrings, bracelet, and lei with pure white momi shells with flower pink kehelelani shells. I opted for her pineapple earrings and a pineapple pendant. I couldn’t be more pleased with the results! Janjira checked in with me at various stages of the creation process. I chose cowrie shell clasps for both the lei and the bracelet as they are traditional and I find it easier to secure the bracelet while using one hand.
I have purchased many items from Janjira and this is one of my favorites!
Mahalo Nui Janjira!

So, I've been a frequent flyer at this shop lol It's because the quality is good and there are a variety of choices.

"Janjira I want to thank you so much for your dedicated service. The Kahelalani shells from Kauai are absolutely gorgeous. I know that there are two to four species for Kahelalani shells. I will get a lifetime enjoyment out of them as I am with those from Niihau. From Niihau these shells are the purest with a luster like finish. As you move along oing southeast, these Kahelalani Shells become pale in color. I like them alot and these will go with any type of shells being strung on Lei's.
✨ C from Mililani, New Mexico

✨ K from Dunedin, FL
"I was looking on the internet at Hawaiian Sunrise Shells for something unique for my 35th wedding anniversary. I came across the Shells Hawaii store on Etsy.com and also went directly to Janjira's website ShellsHawaii.com. The necklaces and bracelets on the website are truly unique and beautiful.
I contacted Janjira directly to custom design a lei necklace for me. We went over various designs through email communication and Janjira provided me with a selection of sunrise shells within my budget. I selected a necklace with a beautiful sunrise shell and a combination of kahelelani shells and momi shells. Janjira was wonderful in helping me with color suggestions and was patient with me trying to visualize my custom order. She obviously takes pride in her jewelry pieces, which are one of a kind. I love my necklace, and will hopefully be ordering a bracelet from her in the future. Visit her website! I now have a stunning 35th anniversary present!
✨ A from Maui

"I was in need of someone to repair my treasured shell bracelet that I gotten from one of my trips to Kauai. I found Janji Rarities through a search on the internet. I contacted Janjira to see if she would be able to repair my treasure for me. She asked for photos, and gave me a price to restring. I sent my bracelet to her, she emailed that she had received it, repaired it in record time, contacted me again with a beautiful photo of the completed repaired bracelet (completely restrung after having to make larger holes in each tiny shell), and let me know that it was on its way back to me. All this in record time! Service and workmanship and prices were outstanding!
I am so happy with the repair and the service and now the new friendship with Janjira. Would not hesitate to purchase any of the beautiful things she has on her website..in fact, I have my eyes on the sunrise shells...just need to decide which one!

"I live in Lihue and bought a sunrise shell for my son's 19th birthday as he really wanted one before he went to a mainland college. The shell coloring is exceptionally beautiful, and it was packaged and mailed to me with extra care and features and that made the present all the more special (like the luggage tag!) When my son is home from college, he gets soooo many compliments from his local friends!! Wonderful shell, great price, and wonderful service. Thank you Janji Rarities!

" just love my Kahelelani Shell Lei! . Having fair skin I was afraid it was not going to stand out but the burgundy and pink shells really makes it pop. It is very beautiful and very beautifully made. It was great working with Janjira, I really appreciate the time she took to make sure it was exactly what I wanted and that I was satisfied before it shipped, size and all. Mahalo!!!

" When I bought a bunch of Leptothyra verruca (Kahelelani Shells), I purchased it from a dealer in Kauai. The shells are so very pretty because the colors are quite variable. I knew there was more of a solid and brightly colored ones available. I did some research online when I was indoors during the cold snowy weather. During my research, I happen to stumble upon www.shellshawaii.com by Janjira. As I saw her website, I noticed that she sells a bunch of real Kahelelani Shells from Niihau. No one else would sell such high quality tiny turbans with solid bright colors of pink, bright pink, brick red and some red ones. These shells are so amazing that I can display them with other micro-specimen shells due to their beautiful colors. With these bright colors and that its pollution free, the Tiki Gods help keep Niihau as a forbidden Island because they want to keep having these beautiful bright tiny turbans. To me, I don't blame them myself. That is why when I found Janjira's business, I can purchase shells from Niihau by enjoying them. The Kahelelani shells I bought from Janjira show so much bright solid colors that those shells stand out alone and by comparing those I have from Kauai and Maui. Now I have nearly a complete variety of these turbans. The specie's common name is called the Wart Turban. The Momi Shells are pretty and they do go well with the Kahelelani Shells. Thank you so much Janjira!!! You sure made my day come alive with these beauties and I will treasure them as long as I can.

"It was such a joy to work with Janjira on my custom sunrise shell bracelet. She went above and beyond every step of the way and the end result is a little Hawaiian masterpiece. Janjira does everything with her whole heart and you feel it. I will treasure my bracelet always and our new friendship. God Bless You, Janjira.

"I came across Janjira's site when I was researching Hawaiian Sunrise Shells. As I was looking through all the earrings, necklaces, etc by many creators of Hawaiian jewelry, I realized that her work is really exquisite! I decided to make my first purchase a pair of earrings. I picked out the Sunrise shells that I wanted and she made the earrings very quickly and promptly mailed them to me. They are beautiful and I get so many compliments on them! Thank you Janjira!!
✨ W from Singapore
"Well, I was a first time buyer of a beautifully crafted piece of seashell jewellery from Janjira for my daughter’s upcoming birthday. Though the expense was not great I was very impressed by the care and attention afforded to me in getting this little treasure back to my corner of the world in Singapore. I am sure that this is just the beginning of a great collection, thank you.
✨ C from Tokyo Japan
"I have purchased some beautiful pieces of seashell jewels and am very happy with what I own now. Janjira has just returned from her vacation when I placed my order. She has realized one of the three has different length than stated on her web shop that she fixed the length according to my wrist size without questions. I add the last piece later not to waste the chance to ship them all over to oversea. She covered for extra shipping fee and the jewelries arrived shortly in beautiful condition with the certificates. My wish lists for her shop is very long but I am looking forward to collect many more from her.
✨ J from Wauwatosa, WI
"I have loved the little kahaleleani shells since my trip to Hawaii many years ago. A couple weeks ago while looking around the internet I came across Janjira's website. Her jewelry looked very nicely made and well priced. I sent her an email with a photo of a bracelet design I was looking for. She was helpful, quick to respond and able to do exactly what I was looking for. I bought two bracelets from Janjira and they arrived quickly and are absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I haven't taken them off since they arrived. They are made with love and it shows. The color of the shells are wonderful and not a single imperfection. Not only would I feel comfortable ordering from her again, I have already sent her a request for a new design. Thank you so much my new friend! :)

✨ J from Vista, CA
"After many years of visiting the islands, I learned about the precious kahelelani, momi, and sunrise shells. I was very happy to find Janjira's professional work with these beautiful shells. We have become great friends and I would recommend her delicate work to anyone who loves Hawaii and it's uniqueness. Janjira puts a lot of aloha in her art and she is a rare find, like a beautiful shell!"

"I bought a gorgeous, unique pair of sunrise earrings as a Christmas gift for my Aunty from Janjira's website. Janjira was quick to respond to my inquiries and very easy to communicate with, as well as helpful (even wrapping the gift with beautiful Hawaiiana wrapping paper-free of charge). My Aunty received the package quickly and in great condition. She said she absolutely loved the earrings. I would definitely do business with Janjira again. I also appreciate the opportunity to buy local jewelry from the islands. Aloha & thank you, Janjira!

"I was married in Kauai in 2013 and wanted to give my sister a special Christmas gift that would always remind her of our special time there. I selected a “Beautiful Sunrise Shell” necklace from Janjira’s website. She was wonderful to work with! She not only wrapped the necklace for my sister, she wrote a beautiful handwritten note and included it with her gift. My sister was so thrilled when she received the package and read the note that she couldn’t wait to open the necklace. The sunrise shell was beautiful and my sister loved it! Janjira also took the time to get back with me later and make sure that both my sister and I was happy with my purchase. Not very often do people take the time to care “after the sale” but Janjira went above and beyond to make sure that I was a satisfied customer. It is my pleasure to recommend her website to anyone reading this. She was great to work with and I will be back.
✨ T from Leicester, N.C.
"On a cold, winter day in western N.C., I came across Janjira’s awesome website and took that first step in placing an order. Once received, I immediately placed a second order. I’m now a privileged owner of two sets of her jewelry! Janjira is a true artist who strives for perfection with intricate detail in every piece. Her beautiful work parallels with her beautiful personality in that she takes the extra step in making sure each transaction is positive and personable. I wear very little jewelry and I’m very particular about seashells of which I’ve collected for many years. I’ve never owned such beautiful seashell jewelry until now. Each single seashell used for her jewelry making is treated with such care, having no chips, cracks, etc. For those out there ‘thinking’ about placing an order, you can put your trust in Janjira. I’m glad I did. “Thank you, Janjira, for sending your rays of sunshine from Kauai all the way to the mountains of N.C. You are truly special and I’m proud to wear your jewelry!
✨ M from Alexandria, VA
Janjirai is a great talent, making the most beautiful that are one of a kind. The labor she puts into each piece is evident. For Niihau jewelry this is the best. She is also a great creator with Sunrise shells which are lovely and lucky to own. I must add that she is the best seller and person that I have come across. Her kindness is remarkable.
✨ C from Honolulu, HI
Beautiful I highly recommend this seller. Great quality work. Bought two more earrings as gifts and they all loved them.
✨ S from Kapaa, HI
