Paua Shell Jewellery, Whole Shells and Gifts

The New Zealand Shop, situated in downtown Toronto's 205 year old historic St Lawrence Market, is proud to offer our Specialty - New Zealand Paua Shell Jewellery - a "Reflection of New Zealand".

Paua is the New Zealand Maori tribal name for New Zealand Abalone Shell. New Zealand Maori regard Paua as a magical "Gift from the Sea" that holds decision-making energies, increases intuition, sensitivity and imagination. It is only in New Zealand that one can find this brilliantly coloured abalone shell, (Blackfoot, Haliotis Iris).
