Description

NI'IHAU SHELL LEI 3 STRAND PIKAKE LENA LENA POLEHOLEHO APU'UPU'U 38 INCH (2472-01)

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 Lenalena (slightly yellow/off-white) coloring, though some shells exhibit golden stripes or dotted ends. The strands are connected by a 23mmX18mm Pōleholeho (decorative shell which ties the ends of each strand together) of the 'Āpu'upu'u (bumpy cowrie) variety with superbly-matched color.
This lei measures approximately 38 inches in length, creating a 19 inch 'drop length' when worn.
