Niihau Shell Lei. Authenticated. Sewn in the Pikake (Jasmine flower) lei style. 3 strands measuring 35 inches including the clasp. Momi uli uli light bluish grey "dove" shells, Momi Kua'ula off white "dove" shells with light brown blushing and markings, Momi Onikiniki Spotted brown "dove" shells. The clasp is a traditional Bumpy or Granulated cowry (Poleholeho 'apu'upu'u), measuring 1 inch. White due to natural sun bleaching. Enhanced with 2 Puka shells- naturally worn cone shell bottoms with convenient holes on each side of the cowry. This cowry has a glistening shine to it, which is not common in adult cowry making it rare. Typically, only juvenile cowries exhibit this shine. Assessed characteristics: Excellent selection of shell size, color and placement. Good structure and alignment with appropriate fluidity and flow. Very good luster overall. Note: 1 shell missing 4 inches from Puka shell on the Momi Onikiniki strand.
