Traditional Hawaiian Quilt  Design Ornaments
Made from Opihi Shell Pearl

These ornaments are hand made  in Hawaii. All are a little different due to the shell difference and handmade procedures.
These Quilt ornaments like the  Hawaiian Style ornaments on the previous page are also made with the Opihi Shell. The opihi shell is a limpet and found only in Hawaii and nowhere else in the world. Some of its uses during ancient times was a scrapping tool, fish hooks, fishing lures, cooking utensil and  was a  treasured personal necklace jewelry worn by the "Alii" or  ruling class of  Hawaii.
Encrusted with barnacles and seaweed vegetation growing on its shell, they and its hardened ridges are all sanded away to reveal a layer of shell that is of pearl like quality. This area then grounded up into a fine powder and combined with polymer  binders and other ingredients to create  these quilt ornaments and other  products.
The quilt  patterns  were the first designs introduced to the Hawaiian people to teach them how to sew.
