WendyClareDesigns Nantucket Oyster Shell Ornament

Yes, each ornament is handcrafted from a genuine, upcycled oyster shell. Because they are natural materials, you can expect slight variations in shape and size, which adds to their unique, one-of-a-kind character.

Each shell typically measures between 2-3 inches in width and 3-4 inches in length. Due to the organic nature of the shells, exact dimensions will vary slightly from piece to piece.

The gilded edges are treated with a protective shellac to help maintain their luster and prevent chipping. While they are durable enough for seasonal handling and storage, they should be treated as delicate decor rather than a toy.

Absolutely. Their coastal aesthetic makes them versatile enough to use as gift toppers, place settings for a dinner party, or even year-round decor on a decorative bowl or wreath.

To keep the beads and gilded edges in good condition, wrap each ornament individually in acid-free tissue paper. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent any fading or discoloration of the embellishments.
