"Angels Wings"

With a nod to the Art Nouveau and a direct reference

to Maori wood carving, the curvilinear natural forms

of this design are a celebration of Life.

This design was the start of what turned out to be several

designs that I call the "Seeds of Life" series.

By Matching the colour and pattern for all 3 pieces which is not easy. When we get it right, the sets show themselves.

Sterling Silver- natural paua

Sterling Silver ( .925) is the silver standard used by quality silversmiths around the world. Silver is one of the noble metals, one of the precious metals, renowned because they don't cause allergies.

Rei jewellery Ltd. only uses solid sterling silver, including our chains.

Yes, the vibrant changing rainbow of colour that you see as you review through each piece of jewellery, is the real natural colour of paua shell. No dyes or artificial colours. Rei Jewellery Ltd. uses only the highest natural paua shell, polished to perfection.

"Paua Window"

The idea of this piece, is for you to see in the paua shell

what you want to see. Polishing paua to a flat surface

creates a different pattern every time

A bold silver edge to frame it. A pedestal to give it strength.

It's a window onto a scene from your imagination..
