Kupee Nerite Polita Shells Lg/XL/XXL 50 Shells LEI Merrie Monarch

Description

Here is an i teresting concept. You can make the coolest Kūpe’e shell lei necklace for Merrie Monarch.
I am making up a set with 22 large black Kūpe’e, 20 XL black Kūpe’e and 8 XXL Kūpe’e. 50 total. I collected them all on Kauai. These are up to 1.2” without the hump.
Now imagine starting with the large equal amounts on each side, and then the same with the XL and finishing it off with the 8XXL that will be in the center.. so it starts with the smaller shells and works up to the larger shells tapering out. This amount of shells should make a 22-24” lei. And none other like it. You can do it, I know you can!
Kūpe’e are eaten, prized for lei, used as an emblem of mourning, used by hālau to hide (pe’e) knowledge or not used by other hālau so knowledge will not be hidden (pe’e) from them.
Kūpe’e live under sand around boulders. At night, it climbs on boulders to feed on limu. Kūpe’e are harvested at night when they are feeding, preferably when there is little or no moon. They can “hear” noise and will fall off rocks to hide if disturbed by loud noises or talking.
