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.

The earrings are beautiful, a birthday gift for my daughter who lives at a beach town in Australia. She's always loved paua. 💖
Im giftingthis little piece of 'home' to my daughter . She is based in Sweden, currently in Adelaide for her Ph D. Moving soon to Nottingham for her PhD. I know she will love this! The first one I bought
sent to my niece in America. She just raves about it and
loves wearing it to showcase the country where her Mum was born.❤️
I purchased the shell pair for our 30th wedding anniversary. We are both ocean lovers and I wanted something a bit different that we could both share, these are perfect, we love them 💗
Absolutely exquisite and gift wrapping was beautiful
Love it. Always dubious when I buy online but thought if not suitable for me, can always regift. Well, that won't be necessary. I am wearing my Necklace daily and get so many compliments. One of those pieces of jewelry that just seems to go with anything.
Bought for my daughters birthday yesterday, she was so thrilled to get it, said she had been looking at them for ages, just loves it, thank you
