WELCOME TO NOSTALGEM

Hello Shello! I'm Rina — beachcomber, maker, and the salty heart and sandy hands behind Nostalgem. My online shop has just two rooms...

Core Collection

It's where my signature bestseller lives — the Paua & Kina Shell Pair Necklace and its matching earrings. Two of NZ iconic shells, made by hand in small batches. Paua from local NZ farms. Kina beachcombed or harvested from waters where they overpopulate and damage our coast.

I can't always get the shells. When I run out, they're gone. If it's in stock right now — that's your moment.

VIP Room

Every fortnight I open the gates on one-off pieces, limited editions, and things that will never exist again. Think of it like a beachcombing hunt — but hurry, because once the tide shifts or someone else picks it up, it's gone.
