This little purple shell makes a beautiful beach lover's gift, or something special just for you! Perfect for rings, earrings, and tiny keepsakes, also pretty enough to place it anywhere in your home as a unique little work of art.
I collect scallop shells from the beach and hand-paint them with up to seven coats of blended paint; the layered colours shimmer and change depending on the light.
Once you order, your shell trinket dish will be individually handcrafted for you, making every piece one of a kind. Natural variations in the shells and the hand-painted process mean no two will ever be the same, and pattern placement may vary from the photos
Each shell is unique, so measurements are approximate - 8.5cm to 9 cm across, comes with a metal ring to help it sit in place and not rock around.
Each shell is unique, shaped by nature and transformed in my studio into a piece of functional art.
Any small irregularities in the shape or surface are part of what makes each piece special—they are not flaws, but traces of the shell’s life in the sea and the handmade process.
Materials: natural shell, paint, resin
P R O C E S S
I craft these shells using professional materials.
Shells are scrubbed clean, sun-dried, and layered with paint, curing between coats. Once fully cured, the front is sealed with strong, crystal-clear resin, and the back is coated for protection.
A time-consuming process, but worth the beautiful results.
This creative process renders each shell one of a kind.

Your shell will arrive suitable for gift giving, nestled in shredded & recycled paper, wrapped in white tissue paper, and presented in a branded box. It comes with a glossy information/care sheet.
Care
Please note, while sealed with a hard-wearing gloss resin, shells are still delicate by nature. They are not dishwasher safe and should not be submerged in water. To clean your shell, simply wipe it gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrubbing.
