NI’IHAU SHELL CHOKER POE POE KAHELELANI AKALA OMA’OMA’O POLEHOLEHO APU’UPU’U 21 INCH (RC100-01)

  • Approximately 21 inches.
  • PoePoe stringing style.
  • Kahelelani shells.
  • Akala & Oma’oma’o colors.

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

Strung in the PoePoe style, the shells interlace to create a consistent spiraling pattern. All shells are of the Kahelelani (Turban shell) variety with alternating lines of Akala (pink) and Oma’oma’o (green) shells. Each end of the strands are finished with a well-matched pair of 25mm Pōleholeho (decorative shell which conceals a hook and eye closure) of the Apu’upu’u (bumpy cowrie) variety.
Typically referred to as a ‘choker’, this necklace measures approximately 21 inches in length and sits higher on the collar than a lei.
