Beautiful black lip shell cameos may vary in color from light and golden to dark and black.

Cut from the golden lip mother-of-pearl shell, they are a natural, warm tawny color with a rainbow flash. Mother-of-pearl shell will vary in color from white to ivory in a variety of hues.

Abalone is one of the ocean's most radiant gems. Paua is a particularly stunning species of Abalone (Haliotis iris) found along the coast of New Zealand. Abalone shells are dark and dull on the outer surface, but the inside nacre displays a miraculous play of light and color. The hypnotically undulating colors within the shell exhibit an iridescent shimmer comparable to opal. These Abalone shell glue-on cabochons are dyed and coated in a protective lacquer that also enhances the sheen of the cabochon.
