Think all pearls look the same? Not quite.

These are Mabe pearls, formed against the shell.

That’s why they have a flat back and a bold, almost sculpted shape.

In pāua shells, they pick up those deep, iridescent colours you won’t find anywhere else.

Please use “wild” instead of natural. Cultured are natural as well. It’s annoying
