Iridescent Abalone Shell Jewelry
Abalone is not only good for eating. You can wear it as jewelry, too. The shell, that is. The shimmering, iridescent interior of the shell made of nacre catches light and throws back a breathtaking variety of colors and sheen. Due to this natural beauty, abalone shell makes beautiful earrings, bracelets, rings and pendants when inlaid into sterling silver setting. It can also be used for decorative purposes on mirrors, trinket boxes, furniture and guitars.
The abalone can be found worldwide but mainly in South Africa, California, the Channel Islands, Japan and New Zealand. In New Zealand, abalone is known as paua in the Maori language. The number of abalone found in the wild is dangerously low all around the world. The shell used in our sterling silver abalone jewelry only comes from sustainable abalone farms.
Abalone jewelry is considered organic jewelry, meaning that it originates from a living creature or plant. Use a damp soft cloth to clean your abalone jewelry. Never use abrasives or chemicals or an ultrasonic cleaner.
