Traditionally, a small button - shaped shell, such as a sundial or a puka, is attached to each end of the strand, and one or two cowrie shells are added where the ends of the lei are joined together.
Biasanya, sebuah kerang kecil berbentuk bulat seperti kancing diikatkan di kedua ujung untaian, dan satu atau dua kerang cowrie ditambahkan di tempat kedua ujung itu berkait.
