Large Natural Abalone Shell Flat Oval Bead Strand

This striking natural shell strand features large flat oval beads with the unmistakable swirling color and iridescent luster of abalone shell. Each polished bead displays its own combination of green, teal, blue, silver, cream, violet, and darker organic patterning, creating substantial variation throughout the strand.

The broad flat ovals provide plenty of surface area for the shell's natural pattern to show and make beautiful focal components for necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and other jewelry designs. Because abalone is a natural material, no two beads will have identical markings or color placement. This listing is for the pictured strand, and the strand shown in the photographs is the one you will receive.

Natural Shell Variations

Abalone shell naturally varies in color, pattern, luster, thickness, surface texture, and markings. Small pits, lines, uneven areas, and other organic characteristics can occur in shell material and are part of its natural appearance rather than uniform manufactured features.

The iridescent colors can shift dramatically with lighting and viewing angle. Color may also appear somewhat different because of photography, screen brightness, monitor calibration, and individual phone, tablet, or computer display settings.
