About the Paua shell: For many centuries the Maori people (New Zealand’s indigenous race) have used the Paua shell for personal adornment and as ornamental inlay eyes for the carvings that decorated their weapons and meeting houses.
Today the same opalescent blues, rich greens and luminous fiery flashes are used to create stunningly beautiful jewelry, worn with pride and panache by women and men throughout the world.
Paua is often referred to as the Sea Opal due to its blue/green coloring's and the incredible swirls that create individual patterns on each and every piece of jewelry.
