The Pāua men’s ring is named for its ocean-inspired design and crafted for the man who feels connected to the sea. This handcrafted ring features natural abalone shell inlay with rich iridescence that reflects deep blues, greens, and violets. Inspired by the untamed beauty beneath the waves, it reflects a man who is drawn to adventure, guided by the rhythm of the sea, and carries a deep appreciation for the ocean’s mystery.

Since our rings are handcrafted to order, it is important for you to use one of our ring sizers and not depend on a traditional jewelers’ sizing kit to get an accurate size. Our rings are different because many are wider than traditional bands and most of our rings come in a comfort fit style.
If you haven't used our ring sizing kit, select that option and we'll send a FREE ring sizing kit to you with your order. We will begin production on your ring once we have your correct size and width.
All rings are made to order and ship within the timeframe shown on the product page. We offer free US shipping and a 30-day return policy on non-custom items. Read our full return policy here.
New Zealand Abalone Shell & Blue Ridge Coral
This ring pairs AAA-grade Pāua shell with blue ridge coral, also known as Heliopora Coerulea, a striking material whose vivid skeleton has been used as an emblem of the ocean's hidden depths for generations. Together, they create something that looks like the sea itself is set into the band.
Sustainably sourced and handcrafted to order in the USA from SCS-certified 100% recycled gold.
What goes into every Pāua
We had such a wonderful experience with Rustic and Main. The unboxing alone felt special—it came complete with a certificate of authenticity for the WWII M1 Garand Rifle Stock used in the inner inlay of my fiancé’s wedding ring. The craftsmanship was evident in every detail.
This ring is brand new — be one of the first to review it.
