Pacific Pearl shell, or Mother-of-Pearl, is a true treasure of the deep and is absolutely stunning when polished and carved. It has layers of gold or black through the silver/white pearl which seem to shift and swirl around as the carvings are turned. Pacific Pearl comes in gold lipped or black lipped varieties which often reach 10 inches or more in diameter and close to an inch thick. Pearl is almost as hard as jade so is a wonderful long lasting material for intricate carvings.
Paua which is similar to the American Abalone but much larger is a beautiful rainbow coloured shell which like pearl changes as the carving is turned. It is spectacular in the vibrancy and richness of its colour. Paua shell is often used as inlays in silver or bone carvings.

All carvings are supplied complete with a traditional style cord & bag.
Most cords are hand made from black waxed braid with a loop and pearl toggle fitted. A woven flax presentation case and information on the meaning of the design is also included. Some come with a silver chain and/or in a jewelry box.
These are truly unique pieces. Due to the wide range of coloration and layer formation in the shell, it is impossible for two pieces to ever be the same. The carvings also often look totally different on each side.
Colours are therefore indicative only and may vary considerably between carvings.
SPECIAL NOTE:
Due to an extreme shortage of high quality pearl shell worldwide, many of these designs are now in very limited supply and will be withdrawn from our site when current stock is sold.
