Single Paua Shell Embedded In Silver Claystone Necklace – Rina Ward

This unique pendant is handcrafted by sculpting clay around a farmed paua shell and then dipping it in silver through electroforming and plating. It hangs on a fine sterling silver cable chain and offers two stylish options: showcasing the shell’s inner lustre for a radiant glow or flipping it to reveal the sleek silver-plated black.

• Shell Height: Approximately 10–13mm (sizes vary).
• Chain Length: Adjustable, 40–45cm (16–18 inches).
