Cut from real abalone or paua shell, these 15x20mm tear drop beads arrive as a full strand — each one carrying the shell's natural iridescence in a shape that's made for focal work.
The curved tear drop face catches light across the shell's organic layering, shifting through the greens, blues, and purples that abalone and paua are known for.

- Color: Abalone Tear - 1STR

What to make with them
String them as a graduated focal strand in a statement necklace, or wire-wrap individual drops as earring pendants where the tear drop silhouette can swing freely and show off the full face of the shell.
Natural materials vary in color, pattern, and size. The beads you receive may differ slightly from the product photos — this is a characteristic of natural materials, not a defect.

Description
Abalone AKA Paua Shell is one of the ocean's most radiant gems. Paua is a particularly stunning species of Abalone (Haliotis iris) found along the coast of New Zealand. Abalone shells are dark and dull on the outer surface, but the inside nacre displays a miraculous play of light and color. The hypnotically undulating colors within the shell exhibit an iridescent shimmer comparable to opal. These Abalone shell beads are coated in a protective lacquer that also enhances the sheen of the bead. The color and pattern of each Abalone is totally unique and will vary between bead to bead.
