These 8mm square abalone or paua shell beads come stranded on a 15–16" strand, giving you a ready-to-work length of genuine iridescent shell in a clean geometric shape.

What to make with them
The square shape makes these ideal for structured bead-weaving layouts, right-angle weave, or strung statement necklaces where flat edges sit neatly against each other for a polished, mosaic-like effect.
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.
