WES213, Paua shell necklace

Paua shell, coated steel, s/silver

By Camilla West

This necklace is made using slices of natural paua (abalone) shell strung onto coated steel wire for an elegant curve, and finished with a sterling silver clasp and tiny sterling silver crimp beads. The paua shell is beautifully iredescent when the light catches it, with green, pink and cream flashes glinting over the surface.
