NI'IHAU SHELL LEI 3 STRAND ROSELANI 36 INCH W/EARRING (HC070122-06)
Hand-made on the island of Ni'ihau Hawai'i, this lei is truly a work of art.
Strung in the traditional Roselani style, alternating sections of white and pink shells create a delicate aesthetic reminiscent of mountain roses.
All shells are of the Momi (dove shell) or Kahelelani (turban shell) varieties. The Momi shells have a clean Ke'oke'o (white/off-white) coloration while the Kahelelani come in the shades of Akala Wai'papipi (strong pink), Ula Ula (red), and Maku'e (brown/burgundy).
All three strands of the lei are connected by a 28X19mm Pōleholeho (decorative shell that conceals the string ends) of the Apu'upu'u (bumpy cowrie shell) variety with a superbly matched color.
This lei measures approximately 36 inches in length, creating an 18 inch 'drop length' when worn.
The earrings measure about 50mm in total length and feature post backings, making them suitable for use in pierced ears.
