JEWELLERY DESCRIPTION

A cluster of farm paua abalone shells hangs on a fine sterling silver chain necklace. The intimate cradling of the shells symbolises the unity of each loved one or family (whānau*) member they represent.

This design draws inspiration from the natural tendency of sea mollusks. They thrive when clustered together in the water, serving as a beautiful symbol of unity.

I hand-sculpted the outer shells with clay, then electroformed and plated them in silver to complement the inner shell's lustre that paua is known for.

Choose the number of shells to share your family stories.

*Whānau (meaning taken from te aka) - extended family, family group, a familiar term of address to a number of people - the primary economic unit of traditional Māori society. In the modern context the term is sometimes used to include friends who may not have any kinship ties to other members.

Shell height: large approx 18-20mm, small 12-15mm
Chain: adjustable, 40-45cm/16-18in long.

ABOUT NATURE & CREATIVE PROCESS

  • All our paua shells have been sustainably sourced from a local paua marine farming operation. The juvenile shells did not mature and therefore are discarded as a waste product, from which evolve our unique jewellery pieces.
  • Our jewellery-making process is an artful fusion of organic nature and the electroforming technique, inspired by the wabi-sabi philosophy that finds beauty in imperfection. Unlike traditional cast pieces, our pieces capture the raw essence of nature itself. These charming quirks & irregularities from both element & the process enhance the authenticity and rustic character of each piece, making it one-of-a-kind. Remember that these treasures are delicate.

  • We work with natural elements to create pieces that are one-of-a kind. What you receive might not look exactly the same as what is pictured (unless stated otherwise), but each piece will share your individuality and uniqueness!

MONEY BACK GUARANTEE

We proudly offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on all our jewellery (some exclusions may apply). If you are not satisfied with your purchase, you may return it within 30 days from the date of receiving the item for a full refund. Click this link for the full details.

So beautiful!!!

I bought this for my partner's birthday as she has a connection with NZ and her nickname was Kina. It took only a couple of weeks for this to arrive to Australia and it had beautiful gift packaging so I didn't have to stress about making it look pretty! My partner loves it so much - not only is it beautiful but it's expertly crafted and will absolutely last a long, long time. Absolutely worth it! ♡

Kina Shell Pendant

Amazing! Bought as a xmas gift for my Expat daughter along with the paua shell earings. The necklace exceeded my expectations, it is a fantastic piece of home that i know she will love, and she will be even happier knowing it is helping to support a local business like Nostalgem. Thanks team keep up the great work.
