Paua Shell Scarf

Teresa's father used to polish Paua Shells and create beautiful jewellery, and home decor items from them years ago when she was a little girl living in New Zealand. This print is created from macro photographs she took of two book-ends that he made for her.  

The Paua or Abalone is a native shell of New Zealand.  Found near the seaside, this wonder of nature has a hard off-white lime scale coating which disguises its immense beauty beneath.  Each shell is one-of-a-kind and houses its own unique version of iridescent colours of blues, greens, yellows and pinks.  Colours, which due to the nature of the shell's surface, change when viewed from different angles.

You too are one-of-a-kind... like the patterned splendour of each Paua Shell

you are unique and free to be your most glorious you!
