The Ariki Collection of handcrafted jewelry is a combination of the superb skills of Ariki's craftspeople combined with the incredible beauty of the New Zealand abalone paua shell.

Ariki, the company established in 1932 is the world's most successful designer/manufacturer of Paua shell jewelry. It is also one of the largest jewelry manufactures in New Zealand.

The name "Ariki" is from the Maori language and means "The Chief".

Each piece of jewelry from the Ariki Paua Collection is presented in a satin lined jewelry box.
