Gemstone Profile

Pāua Shell (New Zealand Abalone)

Pāua Shell is one of the world's most beautiful natural shell materials, found in the pristine coastal waters of New Zealand.

Celebrated for its extraordinary iridescence, each shell produces a remarkable spectrum of blues, greens, violets and turquoise created by microscopic layers of natural nacre. These layers refract light differently depending on the viewing angle, giving every shell its distinctive shimmering appearance.

No two Pāua Shells are ever alike, making each piece of jewellery completely unique.

Craftsmanship

Every Sundari statement ring is individually handcrafted using traditional silversmithing techniques.

The natural Pāua Shell has been carefully shaped and polished to maximise its remarkable iridescence before being securely bezel-set in solid 925 sterling silver.

Its Contemporary Sculptural Design has been thoughtfully created to support the generously proportioned shell while providing a comfortable fit and an elegant profile on the hand. The clean flowing lines ensure the vibrant colours remain the focal point, allowing nature's artistry to speak for itself.

Nature's Signature

Every piece selected for the Sundari Rare Crystal Collection bears Nature's Signature.

This Pāua Shell displays its own unique combination of iridescent colours, concentric growth patterns and natural nacre formations developed over many years beneath the ocean. These remarkable characteristics are not imperfections—they are the defining features that ensure this ring is genuinely one of a kind.

No two Pāua Shells are ever identical, making your Sundari creation as individual as the story it tells.

The Sundari Promise

Every Sundari creation begins with a remarkable gift from nature.

We carefully select genuine crystals, gemstones and exceptional natural materials for their beauty, individuality and character before handcrafting each piece in solid 925 sterling silver.

Because every natural material is unique, no two Sundari creations are ever exactly alike. Each piece reflects our passion for authenticity, craftsmanship and the timeless beauty of the natural world.

Care Guide

Pāua Shell is a beautiful natural material and should be treated with care.

Avoid prolonged exposure to perfumes, household chemicals and excessive heat. Clean gently with a soft damp cloth followed by a jewellery polishing cloth for the sterling silver. Store separately in its Sundari jewellery box to help preserve the shell's vibrant natural lustre.
