Abalone Oval 10x14mm

These 10x14mm abalone or paua shell ovals come stranded in a 15-16" length, giving you a ready-to-work supply of one of nature's most iridescent materials. Shell this size commands attention, and the oval shape keeps it wearable rather than overwhelming.

Abalone and paua shell carry their own built-in finish — a naturally occurring iridescent play of blue, green, and purple that shifts with every angle of light, no coating required.

What to make with them

String them as a single-strand statement necklace where the ovals can lie flat and show off their full iridescence, or space them as focal points between smaller beads in a multi-strand design. They're also well-suited to knotted silk work, where each bead gets its own moment between knots.

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.
