This 8x10mm abalone cabochon is cut from genuine abalone or paua shell, showing the material's naturally layered, iridescent surface in an oval cab shape sized just right for pendants and earrings.

The coloring falls in the browns, tans, and golds family — warm, earthy tones with the subtle iridescence that shell carries naturally, shifting slightly depending on the light.

What to make with them

Wire wrap it as a focal pendant, set it into a bezel finding for a quick earring drop, or press it into resin for mixed-media work. The 8x10mm oval is also a comfortable fit for ring blanks and small brooch settings.

Natural materials vary in color, pattern, and size. The beads you receive may differ slightly from the product photos — this is a characteristic of natural materials, not a defect.
