The Evolution of Sea Shell Jewelry

The historical beauty of sea shell jewelry is more than just jewelry. It is an ancient story that goes back hundreds of thousands of years.

We are so excited to finally be able to share our hearts with the world. For the past 8 years I have been preparing an international workshop for the like minded ones.

I am still working on application packages, supplies,educating my team and self. It has been so much fun learning as I go. The adventures have never stopped. I have met intriguing and beautiful humans along the way and I am so sure there are more to come. I will keep you posted on the actual location and dates of the workshop, events and pop up classes. Until then, remember to love, create and always appreciate!
