What is Abalone?

Abalone is a natural gemstone made from the shell of the abalone sea mollusk. In fact, there are over a hundred varieties of abalone worldwide. One of these varieties is the mother of pearl. Abalone symbolizes strength and healing because abalone mollusks can repair and heal their shells. In particular, the abalone shell is sacred to many cultures including the Maori people of New Zealand and the Apache Nation in North America. Abalone is certainly a special gemstone.

What is a High Polish Finish?

A high polished finish is very shiny and smooth. It is the most common of jewelry finishes. In addition, this finish has a mirror-like quality. You will be able to see your reflection when looking directly at this finish. The high polish finish on the Abalone Sea Turtle Post Earrings gives them just the perfect amount of shine accenting the beautiful design of the piece.
