5 out of 5 starsI love this new ornament! I bought the oyster shell design - one for a gift and one for myself. Beautiful ornament and fantastic craftsmanship, as with all of the LobsterDesigns products.

5 out of 5 starsThese snowflakes are beautifully crafted and packaged! I would definitely buy them again. The box with the story about where the shells came from makes this item even more special as a gift for friends and family who love the great state of Maine.

Jewelry Made from Real Maine Lobster Shell
Lobster Designs is all about lobsters. We design and create jewelry that features lobster shell framed in sterling or 14K gold plated settings. Each piece is accompanied by the name of the lobsterman and the boat upon which the lobster whose shell has been used to create that particular piece was caught. Information about “your” lobsterman, lobstering in Maine and fun lobster facts is available on our Facebook page at Lobster Designs. Each piece is unique in color and texture, making it truly a one-of-a-kind piece.
While knee-deep in bait, working as a stern-woman aboard her husband’s lobster boat, Tenley tried to envision a way to capture the “romance” of the fishing process. The result: recycling lobster shells to create a beautiful piece of jewelry that celebrates the tradition behind this demanding industry.
We are commemorating a Maine icon in the creation of each unique piece of jewelry. Whether you wake in the early morning to the sound of lobster boats heading out to haul, are relishing the memories of a clam bake on the rocky coast or simply want to take a piece of “summer” home, this jewelry showcases one of the many reasons we hold the Maine coast dear. Go beyond a knick-knack souvenir and find quality, a story and the celebration of Maine in our Lobster Designs.
Shop policies
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A paprika colored jewelry box is included with all jewelry items, for perfect gift giving! The top of the box is signed by the artist and illustrated with a lobster. Each piece of lobster jewelry is accompanied by a card describing the item and crediting the fisherman and vessel on which the lobster was caught. Sample text below:
“This bracelet is made from the shell of Homarus americanus, the ‘Maine’ lobster. The shells, selected for distinctive coloring, are shaped/crushed and set in 14K gold-plate. Each piece is a unique work.
The lobster featured in this piece was caught in S. Bristol, Maine by J. Seiders aboard the Comin’ or Goin’.
Care: When not wearing the bracelet, please keep in a jewelry box, away from sunlight, as UV rays can cause damage and fading over time. Wipe clean or wash gently with soap and water. Do not use a jewelry cleaner.”
