Description

NI'IHAU SHELL LEI 4 STRAND PIKAKE MOMI ONIKINIKI, KAHAKAHA, LENALENA AND KE'OKE'O POLEHOLEHO APU'UPU'U 38 INCH (MKP090221-01)

Expertly crafted on the island of Ni'ihau Hawai'i, this lei is truly a work of art.

Strung in the Pikake style, each layer of shells interlaces seamlessly with the next.
All shells are of the Momi (Dove shell) variety with each strand displaying its own distinct color or pattern. The shells come in shades of Lenalena (slightly yellow/off-white), Kahakaha (golden with caramel stripes), and Onikiniki (off-white with dark brown spots). The strands are connected by a 19mmX27mm Pōleholeho (decorative shell which ties the ends of each strand together) of the Apu'upu'u (bumpy cowrie) variety.
This lei measures approximately 38 inches in length, creating a 19 inch 'drop length' when worn.
