Seashells have been used in jewelry making for thousands of years. As a natural material, it has always been available and hasn't required any technology. Seashells have always been abundant in tropical seas, and empty shells often get washed on the beach. From there, the beautiful seashells have been picked up and used as decorations in art, jewelry, clothes, and much more.

Every seashell has a unique shape and pattern. Each shell is fascinating proof of how truly spectacular nature and our life is. Seashells have kept people intrigued throughout history, and they still keep doing so today and in the future.
