VINTAGE SILVER ABALONE SHELL RING

Right. Let’s talk about this absolute showstopper of a ring—because sometimes, a gal doesn’t want subtle. She wants vintage mermaid queen energy, and this Abalone Shell Statement Ring in 925 Sterling Silver is serving it on a Silver (shellfish) platter.

This is no dainty “barely-there” bit of sparkle. No, darling. This is bold, mysterious, and a little bit magical—like the ring you’d find in a box at the back of your grandmother’s secret drawer, right next to the love letters and gin miniatures. Ornate? Absolutely. Unique? Like a glittery fingerprint from Poseidon himself.

Let’s break it down:

💍 UK Size R, and yes, it’s been resized before (some imperfect millegrain at the back proves it’s lived a little—haven’t we all?).
📏 23.3mm across the front for proper finger coverage, and a 15x8 mm Abalone gem that flashes blues, greens, and hints of sea-storm drama every time you move.
💪 Sterling Silver, marked 925, coming in at a satisfyingly solid 6.98g—not so heavy it’ll knock someone out, but enough to say “I’m here, I sparkle, get used to it.”
✨ In beautiful vintage condition. I’ve only given it a basic polish, because that lovely oxidised patina? That’s character, darling. You don’t scrub that away. It’s like laugh lines for jewellery.

This isn’t just a ring. It’s a tiny bit of ocean history, made from the inner shell of the gloriously iridescent Abalone (aka *“sea snail”, but let’s go with “ocean treasure” because it sounds better when you’re gift-wrapping it). These shells have been prized for food, fashion, and general fabulousness since before we even had countries. The Maori call it Pāua, and refer to it, rather grandly, as “the Opal of the sea”. And frankly, I’m inclined to agree.

Each Abalone piece is one of a kind—no two are the same. Which means when you’re wearing this, no one else on the planet has quite what you have. Unless you’re a twin. With very similar taste. In which case, congratulations.
