How to perfectly style your Paua shell jewelry

Welcome to the world of Salty Dreamers, where real ocean vibes meet handmade sea-inspired jewelry! If you've chosen a piece of jewelry featuring our beloved paua shell (abalone), get ready: It's like carrying a little piece of the ocean with you always.

Since the shell's iridescent blue and green hues are true eye-catchers, many people ask us: What's the best way to style this jewelry? In this post, we'll share our favorite styling tips with you so your paua jewelry will shine perfectly with any outfit.

1. Keep it simple: Let the shell shine

Paua shell jewelry is naturally exciting and colorful. The simplest trick? Combine it with very plain basics! A little black dress or the classic combination of blue jeans and a white shirt work wonders. This way, your outfit recedes, and your paua pieces get exactly the attention they deserve.

2. Play of colors: Skillfully mixing ocean tones

The paua shell captivates with its cool ocean colors like deep blue and vibrant green. Combine these tones with colors that harmoniously match. The contrast with warm gold (which is why we love setting our shells in gold-plated stainless steel!) or soft coral tones looks particularly great. This really makes the shell's colors glow.

3. The casual everyday look

Easily incorporate your paua jewelry into your everyday life. Wear it during the day with airy, light summer dresses or relaxed beach outfits. It's the simplest way to add a breath of sea breeze to your daily style without looking "overdressed."

4. Glamour for the evening

Are you invited to a chic event? Shell jewelry can also be really elegant! A delicate necklace with a single paua pendant looks fantastic with a sophisticated evening gown. It lends your elegant look a very special, sea-inspired and individual touch that is guaranteed to spark conversation.

5. Relaxed Boho vibes

Paua shells and the boho style are an absolute match made in heaven. Combine your jewelry with other natural materials like leather straps or freshwater pearls. Flowing fabrics, crochet tops, and cool layering necklaces create the perfect, effortless hippie vibe.

6. Your beach accessory

Naturally, our jewelry belongs exactly where it comes from: the beach! Since our stainless steel is completely waterproof, you can easily wear it by the sea. Pair a paua ankle bracelet with your barefoot looks or wear the matching earrings under your large sun hat. This way, you always have the sea close to you.

7. A gift with true meaning

Paua jewelry also makes an excellent personal gift. You're not just giving an accessory, but a true story from the ocean. If you choose a piece that perfectly matches your favorite person's style, you've found an incredibly meaningful unique item.
