Natural Paua Abalone Shell
Paua shell is known for its naturally iridescent appearance and changing shades of blue, green and purple. The shell’s natural layers and patterns create different colour combinations across each piece.
Therefore, every pendant will have individual variations in its pattern, markings and colouring. The photographs show an example of the jewellery you will receive rather than the exact shell pattern. We select each pendant at random.
Scallop Seashell Design
The scallop-shaped setting complements the natural marine origin of the Paua shell. In addition, the polished sterling silver creates a contrasting border around the colourful shell inlay.
Abalone shell is sometimes called sea opal because of its colourful iridescent appearance. However, it is a natural shell material rather than an opal gemstone.
Material & Finish
The jewellery uses 925 sterling silver with natural Paua shell inlay. According to the product information supplied, the Paua shell comes from sustainable sources.
Sterling silver may naturally tarnish over time. Also, contact with moisture, perspiration, perfume, cosmetics and cleaning products can affect both the silver and natural shell.
Care Instructions
- Remove before bathing or swimming.
- Also avoid perfumes, cosmetics, hairspray, chlorine and harsh chemicals.
- Avoid soaking or using chemical silver cleaners on the Paua shell inlay.
- Store separately in a cool, dry place when not in use.
- Finally, clean gently with a soft dry cloth while taking care around the natural shell.
