Welcome to Nostalgem

Hello Shello! I'm Rina — beachcomber & maker. The salty heart & sandy hands behind Nostalgem.

Kick off your jandals, have a wander around my shop — there are three rooms to explore...

The Front Room

Always open to the public. My signature Paua & Kina Shell Pair Necklace and its matching earrings live here, alongside a select few handpicked pieces.

Enter the front room

The VIP Room

Members only. One-off pieces, limited editions, samples, seconds and pieces that may never exist again.

Think of it like a beachcombing hunt — but hurry, because once the tide shifts or someone else picks it up, it's gone.
