Shelley creates jewelry using the Paua Shell (pronounced pah-wah). This beautiful shell conceals an interior of iridescent colors – cool blues, sea greens and inky purples that run into soft yellows and pinks with flashes of gold and silver.

In Shelley’s own words, “My husband and I have travels through Europe, the Caribbean and Mexico. We have spent three months in New Zealand. It was there that I fell in love with the “jewel of the pacific” Paua shells. After designing necklaces for myself, I decided to share these beautiful shells with others. I have been designing jewelry for several years now and I hope that you will enjoy the “jewel of the pacific” as much as I have.
