Steeped in centuries of Hawaiian tradition, prized Ni‘ihau shell leis are making heads turn once again.
While
Tahiti may lay the claim to black pearls in the Pacific, Hawai‘i has
its own traditional adornments of renown. Over the past decade,
collectors and jewelry lovers, both in the islands and abroad, have
turned their eyes on leis made from precious pūpū, or shells, from
Ni‘ihau—the westernmost of the main Hawaiian Islands, right off Kaua‘i.
After all, head to any cultural fete and you’ll surely spot Ni‘ihau leis
amid Sig Zane prints and Louis Vuitton monograms. - See more at:
