Product Description
Pretty Paua shell and freshwater pearl earrings, so simple yet so effective.
This incredibly beautiful shell comes from the coastal waters of New Zealand and surprisingly belongs to a sea snail. In its watery home the snail wouldn’t even rate a second glance but when its protective lime outer layer is removed an amazing array of blue, green and purple shimmering shades are revealed. The Maoris have always treasured the Paua not only for its fantastic shell that it used as inlay in carvings but also for its tasty meat. Because of this fishing is now strictly controlled and although shells may be picked from the beach, divers can only use snorkels and even then there is a limit to the amount that can be taken to prevent over fishing.
Earring droplet 30mm.
Gift boxed in our luxury matt black boxes with exclusive earthspirit logo - perfect for giving or for keeping.

Testimonials
"Many thanks for... the speedy delivery of my jewellery. I am very pleased with my order and if they weren't Christmas presents I'd keep them both myself! :-) I must also comment that your customer service is fabulous, something you don't see much of these days unfortunately. Thanks again."
