Product Description
“Inspired by the hidden treasures of the sea floor, this vibrant coral hue celebrates the rare and resilient beauty that thrives deep within Tangaroa’s protection.”
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 was lucky enough to discover glamjulz when my friend Rachel invited me to a trunk show at her hotel. I was pleasantly surprised! Monica, the designer, has truly created beautiful, one-of-a-kind pieces. I am constantly getting complimented on my necklace and earrings when I wear them and they literally go with everything. I am able to wear them with my business suits or jeans and a t-shirt on the weekend. So many colors, so many styles. She can even give you great ideas on what might look great to wear them with and can do custom orders. I also love how charitable glamjulz is. At the trunk show here, Monica gave a portion of her sales to a local not-for-profit here in the Florida Keys and she regularly raises funds for other non-profits in Canada. There is nothing like doing good and getting something special at the same time. I recently saw a new piece I had to have and Monica made ordering it a breeze. This is not an easy feat considering we live in two different countries and are as far away from each other as could be on the continent of North America. I can't wait for my new julz!
