The History
This piece is made with designer craftsmanship and quality.
Abalone shell is a type of mollusk shell that has a beautiful iridescent inner layer of nacre, much like mother of pearl. The inner shell of the abalone is an iridescent swirl of intense colors, ranging from deep cobalt blue and peacock green to purples and pinks. Each shell, therefore, has its own unique play of colors. Abalone shell has been found in jewelry from ancient Greece and Rome, and continues to enjoy popularity to this day.
