Every order includes an ID brochure with cool facts about the included shells. If the items in a piece are all from the same place, that information will be included with your order, as well as any noteworthy moon and tide events.
All of my items are ethically sourced; no living animal is ever removed from its home. I only take what I need, in addition to picking up any plastics or trash I find along the way. Ocean conservation is a mission that I give back to - 10% of net proceeds are donated to a reputable organization.
When I'm at the beach, I typically spend 4-6 hours a day beachcombing. This usually amounts to about 3-5 miles depending on how much time I spend in each shell bed. My shells are washed, soaked, washed again, and when necessary, dipped in an acid bath. I never add oil to my shells. Every piece has been meticulously planned, laid out, readjusted, and then, usually, readjusted again for the perfect fit. These pieces are a labor of love in every way - I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
Refunds are only approved in the event of damage during transport. If you're unhappy with your order for any reason, please reach out and I will do everything I can to rectify the situation.
