New Zealand Paua & Maori Pacfic Pearl Jewelry Collection

This collection offers items hand carved from Pacific Pearl (nacre) & New Zealand Paua Shell.

NACRE (pronounced nay-ker) is the beautiful, iridescent, composite material found inside a variety of mollusks, to include the pearl oyster, from which pearls are formed -aka- "mother of pearl."

PAUA is the native Maori word for the highly desired species of abalone specific to New Zealand waters.
