Vintage Kabana Sterling Silver Paua Shell Doublet Cab Ring Size 7

Vintage Kabana Sterling Silver Paua Shell Doublet Cab Ring Size 7 This striking vintage ring is a creation by Kabana, the renowned American company founded in 1975 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, known for high-quality stone setting. This piece, likely dating from the late 20th century, showcases a large, domed paua shell doublet cabochon. This style utilizes a thin layer of iridescent paua shell mounted atop a backing for durability and depth, maximizing the shell's vibrant color. The paua shell, sourced from New Zealand abalone, is famous for its intense shimmer and shifting hues—a mesmerizing blend of greens, blues, and purples—that evokes the swirling colors of the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights). The sturdy sterling silver setting is designed to showcase the dramatic gemstone. The ring is a size 7 and measures 7/8 inch long across the face. It is clearly marked KABANA STERLING.
