Vintage Hawaiian Puka Shell Necklace

Vintage Hawaiian Puka Shell Necklace This authentic vintage puka shell necklace is a perfect example of a classic 1970s Hawaiian souvenir. The shells are naturally sun-bleached, giving them a beautiful, aged cream color and a smooth, polished feel. Crucially, the shells are strung with the holes consistently centered, which is a key characteristic of a high-quality "pono" necklace. The shells are hand-selected and graduated in size, with a subtle taper from the ends towards the center. This piece is a true vintage find, perfect for collectors or anyone looking to capture a piece of island history and style. The necklace measures 16 inches long, and the shells graduate in size from approximately 5 mm to 9 mm.
