These smooth rectangle abalone or paua shell beads measure 8x12mm and come as a single strand — natural iridescence built right into the material, no finish required.

The surface shifts through the greens, blues, and purples inherent to abalone and paua shell, with that signature organic shimmer that changes as the light moves.

What to make with them

String them as a focal strand in a boho necklace where the rectangles lay flat and catch the light, or wire-wrap individual beads into statement earrings that show off the full face of the shell.

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.
