This shell is found only in the cold coastal waters of New Zealand and collection of pāua is strictly regulated. Free-diving in the frigid water is the only permitted method, reflecting a long-standing practice of respect for the ocean. The pāua used in Leaf \u0026amp; Light jewelry was hand-chosen in New Zealand between 15 and 20 years ago for its beauty, iridescence, shape, and color, either by beach-combing or as a by-product of a carefully managed seafood harvest.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNone of the shells used by Leaf \u0026amp; Light are dyed, color-enhanced, laminated, veneered, or backed with plastic resin coatings— treatments commonly used in mass-produced jewelry. Instead, every pāua shell is naturally one-of-a-kind and reveals its own unique play of shape, iridescence, and waves of ocean hues—no two are the same.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThese earrings also feature vintage Czech glass with a soft luster finish and fire-polished surface. The beads reflect gentle coastal hues — sea glass green, dusky purple, and hints of muted blue — offering a subtle, ocean-inspired shimmer. Their vintage origin gives them a character and depth that modern glass rarely captures. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOur ear wires are plated in the USA with .999 pure silver on brass. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eINGREDIENTS\u003cbr\u003ePāua Shell from New Zealand\u003cbr\u003eVintage Czech Glass\u003cbr\u003eFine Silver Plated Brass Ear Wires\u003cbr\u003eSilver Plated and\/or 10% Silver Filled Copper Wire\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDIMENSIONS\u003cbr\u003eEarrings range from 1\" to 2\" in length.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHandmade in our studios in Sarasota, Florida or Kona, Hawaii.\u003cbr\u003ePlease note: Our jewelry is not intended for children.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Leaf \u0026 Light","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47523203645540,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0749\/7636\/2596\/files\/L_L-VintagePauaandGlassEarrings001a.jpg?v=1765931818","url":"https:\/\/leafandlight.us\/products\/silver-plated-paua-shell-earrings-vintage-glass","provider":"Leaf \u0026 Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
