Paua (abalone) Shell veneers are made from the finest grade (A) abalone and oyster shells.

Paua is one of the world's most beautiful shells because of its incredible and intense variation of color.

Paua shells remind us of a kaleidoscope or hologram, with the colors dancing and sparkling as the iridescent patterns of the nacre catch the glints of light when viewed from different angles.
