Paua Shell Mother & Child Floating Necklace

A pair of real paua shells representing Mother & Child. An organic nature necklace to tell your story of motherhood. Paua shells are sculpted with beachstone and dangles on a delicate sterling silver / 18k gold on sterling silver chain necklace.

• A “mother and child” pair of juvenile pāua shells — hand-sculpted with our signature beachsand clay. Resembles turquoise stones.
• Symbol of love and growth – one larger, one smaller pāua shell, representing mother and child. Their face-to-face positioning reflects a bond built on care and love.
• Sustainably sourced – made from juvenile pāua shells collected from a local pāua farm (not wild).
• One-of-a-kind design – each shell varies slightly in shape, size, and colour — just like our relationships.
• Gift-ready packaging – Comes in a black jewellery box, ready for gifting.

We work with natural elements to create pieces that are one-of-a kind. What you receive might not look exactly the same as what is pictured, but each piece will share your individuality and uniqueness!

PROVENANCE

Paua shells have been sourced from a sustainable and ethical local paua farm. These shells have not reached full maturity so have been sustainably repurposed for jewellery.

Each piece in our collection is crafted with intention—balancing timeless design with modern responsibility. We use only high-quality, ethically sourced materials, working closely with skilled artisans who bring every detail to life with care and precision.

Our commitment to sustainability extends from recycled precious metals to responsible stone sourcing and mindful production practices. Whether it's a gift or a personal keepsake, your jewelry is made to last—and made to matter.
