Kupee Nerite Polita Pipipi Shells 24 Small For Bracelet Merrie Monarch

Description

24 small lustrous black, white and speckled pipipi shells which are small Kūpe’e shells I collected on Kauai. These are about 1/2” long. 24 should make an 8” bracelet or anklet. Merrie Monarch is coming!
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.
