Decoupage Clam Shell Jewelry Dish – Whale Art, Nautical Home Decor

This versatile piece of shell art can be used as a jewelry/trinket dish or as a beautiful addition to your home tabletop decor. 

🐚 A beautiful watercolor image of the humpback whale, a remarkable species known for it's enormous size (60 feet and 80,000 pounds!). During the height of the commercial whaling industry, humpbacks were diminished to near extinction, but now through awareness and regulation, the humpback is thriving again. The image is set on a giant Northern Quahog clam shell. 

🐚 OUR PROCESS
These decoupaged shells are hand-crafted with a fine level of detail. Images are carefully set on a base of white or pearl paint and sealed with multiple layers of lacquer to give a refined porcelain feel and look to them. A delicate edging of liquid gold leaf gives the finishing touch. Shell backs are left in their beautiful and natural state.  These shells are thoroughly cleaned with soap and water - no harsh chemicals used.

🐚 ABOUT OUR SHELLS

Size: 3.5"-4.5" wide

Ethically Sourced. We only use shells that have washed up on beaches naturally.  Their former inhabitants have moved out.  We never kill or harm any animals to get their shells.  We also donate a portion of our proceeds to The Marine Fish Conservation Network as a way of giving back for the abundance and beauty our oceans so generously provide.

Please keep in mind that each shell is unique and was once home to a little animal.  Any 'imperfections' in the shell should be seen as a badge of honor of this creature's journey from the deep to your door.  The pictures are examples of the patterns only.  Your shell will be 100% one-of-a -kind and the only one on the planet that will look exactly like yours. 

Finished shell fronts are waterproof but it is recommended that shells not be immersed in water. Clean shells by wiping with a damp sponge or cloth.
