💚💙 What Is Abalone?

Abalone is a natural shell produced by marine molluscs and is valued for its spectacular iridescent interior. In New Zealand it is commonly known as Paua Shell, while in other parts of the world it is more widely recognised as Abalone.

Every shell displays its own unique combination of colours and patterns, making each piece of jewellery completely individual.
