This graceful Niʻihau lei features a harmonious blend of momi and kahelelani shells, hand-selected for their luminous white and soft pink hues. The lei is woven in the Pīkake style — a rounded, floral-inspired weave that mimics the form of jasmine blossoms. Each shell is meticulously arranged to create subtle texture and flow, with delicate color variation that brings a natural radiance to the piece. Finished with polished leho (cowrie) clasps, this lei captures the refined beauty and patience of traditional Niʻihau craftsmanship.
