Extremely Rare Pink Sunrise

I recently completed this unique pink sunrise shell lei with over 1000 kahelelani shells and kamoa accents.  Kamoa are the yellow shells that are visible in the strand.  Only one out of many thousands of sunrise shells(pectec Langfordi) is a true pink.  You'll see a fair number of various colored ones with pink in the heel.  It rarely extends beyond the flanges or wings of the shell.   Evan Yerman came up with the custom clasp design by having his goldsmiths make a wax mold of a granulated cowrie that i found on the north shore of Kauai.  It was then cast in 18k gold.  Not only is the clasp beautiful, but it is very secure and easy to operate.  It is the only one that was made.  This pieces is listed in my store.  If you are looking for the ultimate gift for a woman who loves pink, this is it!
