The brilliance of the blue, green, and purple iridescence of the paua (abalone) shell is inlaid to represent the mahina or moon. Each earring is hand-carved from native Hawaiian koa wood found in Kalihi Valley on Oahu. The simplicity and striking beauty of these lightweight earrings can be paired perfectly with work attire or a night out on the town. Metal hardware is made of nickel-free hypoallergenic stainless steel.
