Abalone necklace – rectangle
Abalone is harvested and eaten in many cultures. The swirling color of abalone comes from the inner shell of a sea snail. This snail makes a nacre adding aragonite platelets to it in layers making it harder and more colorful than other types of Mother of Pearl. The colors come from how the microscopic layers are laid down which diffract light into deep hues of purples, green, blues and pink.
New Zealand Abalone is exceptionally colorful. The better quality commands higher prices than a duller paler Abalone.
This Abalone necklace is strung on jewelry cable with a stainless steel lobster claw clasp. I have added faceted amethyst gemstones with flashy crystals.
This necklace is 19 1/2″ length.
