OCEAN SHELL STUDIOS
SHELL VENEER UNCOATED - PAUA NATURAL
SKU: VUPN205
This Ocean Shell veneer features genuine New Zealand Pāua in its natural, uncoated form, displaying vivid blues, greens, and purples with striking natural iridescence. The flat sheet is approximately 0.3mm thick and presented raw – no surface coating is applied. It is available with either an unpainted back for a fully organic finish or a black painted back to enhance brightness and colour clarity. Using this product on a light or dark background will affect the finish due to its translucency.
This veneer is ideal for inlay, jewellery, marquetry, decorative accents, and fine surface applications where the bold, natural beauty of pāua is desired. It is made from AA and AAA grade New Zealand Pāua with no coatings or backing panel.
