Paua Shell Mother & Child Floating Necklace (Turquoise Beachsand)

One of our best-selling necklaces! A pair of hand-sculpted "mother & child" pendants crafted from juvenile farm paua (abalone) shells. This necklace celebrates the inner radiance of motherhood (just like the inner lustre that paua is known for) and the enduring bond between mother and child.

These shells are sustainable upcycled creations derived from farm shell waste, so you can say it's a transformation from waste to wondrous wearables!

Beachsand setting – Inspired by the organic beauty of beach sand, we’ve created this setting out of putty and clay. Hand-formed with New Zealand beach sand inclusions, we’ve chosen marine turquoise to match the hues of the paua and the ocean.

Shell height: mother approx 15-20mm, baby approx 5-10mm
Chain: 45-50cm, sterling silver base

• 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!

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.
