Product Description
“With its soft pink glow, this pendant represents the warmth of the setting sun and the gentle strength we find when we retreat into our shells.”
Inspired by the Māori legend of how the paua (abalone) received its breathtaking colours, this collection is a celebration of the vibrant light we carry as women—and the strength we find in our “shells.”
The Legend
In the “Land of the Long White Cloud,” Aotearoa (New Zealand), it is told that Tangaroa, the god of the sea, once took pity on the plain and lonely Paua. To make him as beautiful as the other creatures, Tangaroa gifted him a palette of nature’s finest hues:
-
The coolest blues from the depths of the ocean
-
The freshest greens from the heart of the forest
-
A tinge of violet stolen from the dawn
-
A blush of pink from the fading sunset
-
A shimmer of mother of pearl layered over it all
To protect this beauty from the world’s jealousy, Tangaroa gave the Paua a rugged, rock-like outer shell—allowing him to keep his brilliance safe until the moment it is ready to be revealed.
The Craftsmanship
Each necklace in this limited series is designed to tell this story of protection and light. Every piece is handcrafted with:
-
A focal iridescent pendant available in the colours of the legend (Ocean Blue, Forest Green, Dawn Violet, or Sunset Pink).
-
Natural Mother of Pearl, honouring the shimmer that binds the colours together.
-
A signature iridescent shell bead, a tiny glass tribute to the paua itself.
-
A spectrum of accent crystals ensuring every necklace contains all the “colours of nature” from the story.
The Meaning
This collection was born from a lifelong friendship with my “sister” Rosemary, whose New Zealand roots first brought this story to my heart. It is a tribute to the women who encourage us to show our true colours, yet stand by us as a protective shell when we need to retreat and find our strength.
Whether you are in a season of shining bright or resting in your shell, these pieces serve as a reminder: Your beauty is always there, held safely within.

I just had to let you know how much I love your julz! This is my third time ordering a number of pieces. In the past I have bought glamjulz as gifts for family and friends ranging from teenagers to my Mom. To celebrate my 20th wedding anniversary, I ordered a necklace, bracelet and earrings that match. My favorite color is red and the way you made it pop with white, blue and other colors is amazing! I bought an outfit to go with the jewels and will send you a pic after our anniversary. Thank you for being the easiest designer I've ever worked with. My custom pieces catch the eye of every woman when I get dolled up. You make me look good :)
