Niihau Shell Lei. Authenticated. Momi Ke'oke'o (white "dove" shells) and Momi Kua'ula (off white "dove" shells ribbed or grooved Momi shells sometimes with light brown streaks or splotches). 5 strands measuring 49 inches including the clasp. The Cowry clasp is a traditional P61eholeho 'apu'upu'u or bumpy or Granulated cowry, white due to sun bleaching measuring 1 inch with 2 traditional 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. Other assessed characteristics: Good selection of shell color, size, placement and luster. Appropriate fluidity and flow of the strands. Overall good luster.
