These 8x10mm abalone or paua shell ovals come stranded on a 15-16" string, giving you a ready-to-work length of genuine iridescent shell in a versatile oval shape.
Abalone and paua shell carry their own built-in iridescence — shifting greens, blues, and purples that move with the light without any added coating.

What to make with them

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.
