Announcement
Yes, I make each & every one of these with all natural Seashells! I love to use pearls & an ocean of other Treasures from the Sea, and I'm inspired by the 1800's nautical art of "Sailors Valentines" (which is how I started with these, over a decade ago!)
SALE -- Use Code: MERMAIDS20 at Checkout for 20% OFF and enjoy a surprise little beach treasure GIFT in your outgoing parcel, too. Most items are FREE SHIPPING.

I consider Shellflower earrings to be the most challenging... finding enough shells that match well for a perfect PAIR!

2 of my Sailors Valentines: Modern interpretations of the vintage ones that got me hooked on shell artistry years ago

Blessed beyond belief to have lived by the Atlantic my whole life, surrounded by an "Ocean" of inspiration! I adore breathing the salt air, hearing waves & gulls and am happiest when beachcombing barefoot along the shore...especially after a storm!
