Vintage Oval blue Abalone Bangle.

Vintage Oval Abalone Bangle.

About this piece

A striking bangle centred on an oval cabochon of abalone shell, its surface alive with deep blue and teal iridescence layered with peacock-green highlights—the classic play of light that makes abalone so prized in jewellery. The stone is set within a textured silver-tone bezel, with matching metal bands looped at top and bottom to form the bracelet itself. The whole piece has an unhurried, organic feel typical of vintage shell jewellery from the mid-to-late twentieth century.

Abalone is surprisingly durable for daily wear, though the shell surface does benefit from gentle care: avoid prolonged immersion in water, and clean with a soft cloth. The bangle shows honest signs of use—minor surface wear to the metal bands and bezel—but the stone remains vibrant and secure. One Size fits most wrists comfortably.
