Meet the Maker
Handcrafted Jewelry Made in Hawaiʻi Since 1991
For more than 30 years, Liz has created Niʻihau shell jewelry and Hawaiian-inspired pieces that reflect the beauty of the islands. From her home in Waimānalo, she brings together rare shells, global beads, and traditional techniques to craft earrings, bracelets, and lei treasured by collectors across Hawaiʻi.
Her work has been featured at the Merrie Monarch Festival, Made in Hawaiʻi, and craft fairs statewide. Every piece carries her love for island craftsmanship — and the spirit of aloha she hopes each wearer can feel.
What Makes Niʻihau Shells the Most Valuable in the World?
Niʻihau shells — kūpala, kahelelani, mamo, and momi — are among Hawaiʻi’s rarest natural treasures. Gathered by hand along the shores of the “Forbidden Island,” these shells are sorted by color, size, and quality before being woven into traditional patterns that can take months or years to complete.
Authentic Niʻihau lei are fully natural, un-dyed, and crafted using techniques passed down through generations. Collectors around the world seek them for their rarity, cultural significance, and investment value.
