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 starsBeautiful zipper pull! Well made, every piece on it looks to be very securely attached and should handle the bumps of being on a backpack. The metal is bright & shiny, the bead color is well matched to the rest of the pull, the shell is pretty and a nice size so it is noticeable, plus the little flower is delicately soft. This fine artist piece will be a nice reminder of my trip to Hawaii.

5 out of 5 starsBeautiful, well made ornament. The shape of the turtle is perfect and clean. No rough edges or splinters, smooth finish. The small shells are perfect, no broken pieces and uniformed all the way around. The bigger shell is beautiful and all shells are securely attached. The hawaiian greeting on back is clearly visible and the hanging string is very cute and goes with the turtle. Packed with care and arrived in perfect condition!

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.

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.

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.
