Paua Shell Jewelry
The Opal of the sea
Mature Paua are harvested by free-diving to depths of 10 metres where they are collected by hand. Once collected the heavy lime & marine encrustations are ground from shells before they are cleaned and polished to reveal the rich lustre beneath.
Finished shells are then skillfully cut by craftsmen before each piece is carefully shaped and inlaid into our range of necklaces, earrings, bracelets and bangles.
All Marine Opal Jewellery is Hypoallergenic with a strong resistance to tarnishing.
Metals used in the making of our designs are either Imitation Rhodium, 22 Carat Gold or Palladium which has an especially low risk of allergic reaction to the skin
