PAUA JEWELRY
PAUA JEWELRY BY NEW ZEALAND ARTISTS
New Zealand and Polynesian paua jewelry worn with respect or given and received with love are believed to take on part of the spirit of those who wear or handle it, becoming a spiritual link between people spanning time & distance. Jewelry and pendants that have been worn over many generations contain the spirit of many people and are a powerful and great treasure.
Our Paua Jewelry range includes traditional Maori designs to modern, unique pieces from New Zealand artists. Paua shell is often called Abalone or Mother of Pearl.
Choose from our large range of unique Paua jewelry as detailed below.
The importance of crafts such as Paua shell jewelry-making to the Maori people is shown very well in the highly recommended hit movie Whale Rider. Similarly, the cast and crew in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings film trilogy also adorn NZ jewelry showing just how powerful these kiwi treasures are when worn by people who are connected to our land Aotearoa... or in their case Middle Earth.
Each Abalone jewelry piece is hand crafted by local artists so even if following the same design, no two pieces will ever be exactly the same. The unique Mother-Of-Pearl necklaces can also be designed and hand made especially for you, telling your story through traditional carved styling.
Every piece of Paua jewellery purchased through NZ Pacific is presented with a braided or platted waxed braid cord, along with native flax bag woven to show the traditional styling and beauty of the jewelry. Also supplied is an attractive information sheet telling the meaning of the Paua shell jewelry.
All prices include free insured shipping internationally to USA, China, UK, Australia, Japan, Canada, and rest of world.
