Care Instructions:
To maintain the beauty of your Pāua Abalone Shell Pendant,

Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals and prolonged sunlight to prevent fading.
Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials.
Store separately in a soft pouch to avoid scratches.

Due to the nature and age of the shell/animal, there was a lot of layering on the shell that comes with the animal's growth. This layering, even when sanded back, is likely to create snagging on loose knitted or crocheted clothing due to its rough texture on the upper shell.

Suspended from an adjustable waxed poly cord, this pendant is a versatile piece of jewellery that can be worn for any occasion. The adjustable cord length ensures a comfortable fit and allows you to customise the length of the pendant to suit your style and preference.

The Paua Abalone shell is revered in the Maori culture for its spiritual significance, believed to bring protection, prosperity, and good fortune. As you wear this pendant, you connect with the Maori heritage and invite a sense of spiritual harmony, tranquility, and abundance.

Whether you are seeking a meaningful gift or a personal adornment, this hand-carved New Zealand Rainbow Paua Abalone Shell Hei Toki Adze Axe Head Pendant is a symbol of the ocean's magic and the human connection to nature. Allow it to immerse you in the beauty and mystery of the sea, and let it inspire you to explore the depths of your soul.
