N°09 Mother's Day 2024 Special Set

Can one ever overdose on Paua?

There is a good reason why Paua is called "Marine Opal" - although this is so hard to capture in images!  I brought back lots of Paua from my last two New Zealand trips , where it is rightly revered as one of the most beautiful and culturally significant materials (The raw Paua pieces come from the Chatham Islands).

I think I am so in love with Paua because, not only does it look amazing, but working with Paua satisfies both the designer and the scientist in me. It is such wonderful material to work with - the iridescence of its Nacre (Mother of Pearl) is really like working with materialised Northern Light.
Interestingly, this mesmerising effect is created when light shines on the thick nacre shell layer. Subsequently, the reflected light on the inner layer interferes with the reflections of light on the outer layer, causing the iridescent effect. Wave physics have never looked better!

In this set I added enough purple Amethyst and Agates to harmonise with the lilac, purple and green hues in the Paua, and complemented with a 22k golden Ethiopian cross and enough warm gold to give it a calming background. 

You may chose the luscious Agate Geode Statement earrings for a big night out, but the set also includes exquisitely faceted tiny Amethyst teardrops earrings for when you feel like something smaller. !

  • Statement Necklace: short, length can be varied via extender chain
  • Statement Earrings: main stone: Agate Geodes & Paua; length: 5.6cm

Statement bracelets are made to measure, so please make sure to leave size instructions (your wrist circumference at the widest point right over the wrist bone; see photo). Without your wrist measurement I can't finish your order.

The Set will be beautifully gift-wrapped and ready as an exceptional gift for yourself or an unexpected gift for someone special.
