This is the crown jewel of my stringing career. I was able to obtain this one of a kind pink sunrise with a lemon yellow tip. I used over 1000 of the finest pink kahelelani and kamoa accents(the yellow accents in the strand). It’s finished with a clasp that is equally rare. This is the only one in existence and was made for me by Evan Yerman in NYC. It was cast from a granulated cowrie that I collected on the north shore of Kauai. It is 18k gold with a matte finish. Thanks Evan~. In over 20 years of collecting and seeing thousands of sunrise shells, I have never witnessed another like this. It comes with a custom curly koa box and next day FedEx shipping!
