The Lei Necklace Closure is Adorned with a Brown Satin Ribbon to Accentuate the Overall Appearance. 'Opihi shell's are Beautiful, Especially when Ground and Polished; They Possess a Beautiful Sunburst Design and Nice Reflective Features Similar to Abalone. To some native Hawaiians, 'Opihi are 'aumākua (Family or personal gods, deified ancestors who might assume the shape of living animals, plants, clouds, etc around them). 'Opihi is a prized delicacy in the Hawaiian Islands, which sells for up to $225 per gallon. Collecting enough for a lu'au can be a very dangerous task. With a squat, dome-shaped shell, the 'Opihi can deflect pounding waves powerful enough to sweep an unwary picker out to sea. Sure footing, a good grip and vigilance are essential when picking 'Opihi as well as someone watching from above. All 'opihi shells are like a finger print, unique to the next as no two are alike. This Lei Trully Wraps You with the Gesture of aloha & the Tropical Waters of Hawaii all in One. The Variety of Color Combinations Create Pieces that Get You Noticed. Beautifully Designed and Hand-crafted with "aloha". Makes a Great Gift or Treat Yourself to Start or Add to Your Collection.
