Aloha! WhimSea By Lo's mission is to create handmade sea shell jewelry, ocean art, and beach decor items for all to enjoy. We are inspired by the ocean sea glass, sea shells, natural tropical environment, and the aloha we experienced while lucky enough to call the Hawaiian islands our home. A large portion of the sea glass and sea shells that we use in our jewelry were all personally gathered while living in the state of Hawaii. As you can see we use cowrie shells, cone shells, sea urchins, kahelelani shells, and more! If the shell was collected in Hawaii, we will make sure to let you know. Our unique items range anywhere from seashell jewelry, ocean decor, island wear, tropical accessories, and whatever else we come up with. In addition, if you are looking for a custom handmade piece other than what is listed, please message us and we will do our best to accommodate your request. Are you looking for the perfect tropical decor beach lovers gift? We have you covered!

5 out of 5 starsWe have bought many masks from this seller because they are so well made and a favorite for folks who have to wear masks all day long on the job. Great communication from the seller. A very well run Etsy shop!

5 out of 5 starsWe have bought SO many masks from the WhimseaByLo shop throughout the pandemic for employees, my husband and son. For folks who must wear masks all day on the job, these are THE BEST. They will not hurt your ears. So well made that they hold up wash after wash. Air dry them. The seller is wonderfully attentive if you have any questions.

5 out of 5 starsI've lost count of how many times we've ordered masks from this shop. Sturdy, washer-friendly, well-crafted -- they have become the favorite go-to mask for an all-day wear. Thank you!

5 out of 5 starsThese are among my favorite masks - large enough, comfortable straps, and not an obnoxious pattern. Great for work.

Each shell we use was ethically collected in Hawaii. In this picture, we are carefully drilling this Hebrew cone shell.

Lauren makes all of her items herself. In this photo she is making a zipper pull with a Hawaiian cone shell.

My first product display! A local shop liked my products so much that they are allowing me to sell them in their store.

I take pride in the fact that I make every item I sell. In this photo, I am making a Hawaiian cowrie shell pendant.
WhimSeabyLo's mission is to share the treasures of Aloha with others through handmade art.
After completing college, I decided to chase my dreams and got a job in Hawaii in 2011. For the next six years, I spent my days living and working in Hawaiian paradise. My job allowed me to travel between all the islands and explore all of the nooks and crannies. In 2015, I met the man who became my husband, who happened to be in the military. Due to his job, we had to make the hard move away from Hawaii in 2018. Being away from Hawaii, I wanted to create a way that I can still work with my shells and enjoy the memories that will never be forgotten.
I decided to create WhimSeabyLo in which I will focus on creating handmade one-of-a-kind pieces of functional art that feature Hawaiian Bohemian themes. Many of the shells that I use were personally collected by myself or my husband and we only collected empty shells to ensure no little critters were ever found. The shells were all collected in Hawaii except for a small handful that were collected on Wake Island. The shells are from every island in Hawaii which includes the Big Island, Molokai, Lanai, Maui, Oahu, Kauai, and Ni'ihau.
My overall goal is to share the treasures that I found in Hawaii with others so they can enjoy the beauty of Aloha just like I did. Thank you for taking the time to read about my shop and please make sure to follow me on Instagram.
Are you looking for more Hawaiian memories? Check out our friends etsy site, ImagesofHawaii. Charlene shares the Aloha through photography and sells incredibly beautiful color changing mugs. We have helped Charlene with her social media for a few years and absolutely love working with her.

Care instructions
For any shells, you can rub a small amount of mineral oil on them to bring out the colors.
How are your Hawaiian shells collected?
Each shell was personally found by myself or my husband. Prior to collecting each shell, we inspected it to ensure no little critters were home. It is important to ensure you NEVER take a shell with a LIVE creature inside it.
Wholesale availability
Bulk orders are available, please message me with your questions and request. Please keep in mind that each item is personally made and unique.
Who makes all of the items?
I make all of my own items. I have a workshop setup at the house and my husband is kind enough to help when I need an extra hand. Nothing is sourced out to outside areas.
Gift wrapping and packaging
Gift wrapping is available upon request. Please ensure you leave plenty of detail of what you are looking to have done.
