Etched paua shells are featured in these 3" earrings with sterling silver diamonds and earwires, making them a good reminder of vacations gone by or a wistful longing for escape. Paua and abalone refer to the same kind of shell: a lovely colored shell from a sea snail. Paua is a Maori word from New Zealand while abalone derives from Spanish. These shells have been etched and stabilized for protection from wear.

Cost: $32.00 USD

Length: earrings - 3"

Materials:

Care & cleaning: Clean with warm soapy water and avoid chemical or abrasive cleaners. Use a soft jewelry polishing cloth to clean tarnish appearing on silver.

The earrings are likely to withstand greater tugs and pulls than will the wearer of the earrings! As with all beaded jewelry: do not let young toddlers chew on it.
