What is the difference
between paua shell and abalone? Paua is a high grade of abalone from
New Zealand where abalone is called paua in the Maori language. Can
you tell the difference? The necklace on the left is made of paua
shell. The bracelet on the right has abalone nuggets. In
these examples the nugget is also in a more natural state while the
paua has been sliced thin, put on a backing and processed.
