Abalone Tear Drop 8x12mm Vertical

These 8x12mm abalone or paua shell tear drops are drilled vertically, so the point hangs down and the full iridescent face of the shell faces forward. That natural shimmer is impossible to fake with glass or resin.

Abalone and paua shell carry that signature play of color — shifting greens, blues, and purples — that comes straight from the shell itself, not from any applied coating.

What to make with them

The vertical drill makes these a natural for pendants and focal drops on necklaces, but they also work beautifully as earring drops or spaced accent pieces on a bead-woven or strung collar where you want a statement element with real movement.

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.
