This dainty pendant screams beach time! The starfish shaped pendant is highly polished .925 Sterling Silver and features Abalone Shell. Abalone, also known as Paua Shell is highly iridescent and gives a strong and changeable range of colors. This is a great everyday pendant because it is just so easy to wear. The pendant measures approximately 1 1/8 inches in length including the bail. This jewelry is sold by design so although it may not be the exact item pictured, it will be as close as Mother Nature allows! Your Abalone Shell pendant is a piece of nature's artwork! We recommend that you use a sterling polishing cloth to keep your Sterling Silver clean. The polishing cloth is safe for use with all our wonderful jewelry. As with all of our beautiful jewelry, your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed.
