MAHALO NUI LOA!!! Hearing the names of each and seeing the tedious work it takes makes me appreciate my Ni’ihau lei’s even so much more. Also makes me feel so much more connected to my kupuna. 🐚 ❤🙌🏽✨
Aloha beautiful Hawaiian Wahine! I love and admire you and your talents! You are so patient and lovingly with an awesome smile! Your Aloha spirit is contagious!! Mahalo nui loa🙏💕
Mahalo nui loa! I have collected Kahelelani and Ni'ihau shells for years and never knew how to string them. This is the best tutorial and will recommend to my daughter who I gave the shells to.
i made 2 single necklaces out of momi shells for friends and it made me feel young again but to see what you do with your shells , if i could do that i would be that proud of myself .
Thanks soo much for sharing this. Please wear a mask to keep the very sharp shell dust perticles out of yuor lungs! You will not notice the damage you have done until years later and it’s too late!
WOW! Now I see why those leis cost a lot, that’s a lot of work but we’ll worth it at the end. Mahalo for showing us how it’s done maybe one day I’ll try and make one.
your mother must be a very smart lady showing you how to make your own jewelry and helping you think of what you can do next with shells and other things ,good going mum.
i hope you keep up the good work i have shells from up north but no one to show what to do with them and getting to old to use the brain but when i see young carrying on the tradition it makes me feel good .
I cant believe that you put my spot on you tube! Been surfing, diving, fishing, and picking momi and kahelelani there for 30+ years. Many changes there now but still get shells mahalo ke akua. Thank you for not saying the name of the place or showing too many landmarks that would give it away!🤎🇬🇧
What kind of glue and what # fishing line did you use?? I am very grateful for this video and really appreciate your time to share. Mahalo🫶🏼🌺🫶🏼 Roberta Crighton

Mahalo Nui🔆
Very cool videos
What island and beach did you get your shells from?
Unless they went niihau
Wow!
SOMEONE GAVE ME A NECKLACE LIKE THIS BUT I DO NOT KNOW THE MEANING OF IT. WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS NECKLACE?
the meaning is between you and the gifter. there is no meaning for the shell necklace alone.
Is this Anini beach?
Definitely not this oahu most likely
@@pekelosilveirajr7461 doubt O‘ahu, nowhere here has nearly that amount in a days finding.
Most likely Kaua‘i ! Don’t know where though.
