Every shell in this shop was once part of something larger — a creature, a coastline, a storm. Now, softened by the sea and filled with translucent resin, they become quiet little portals to other worlds.

I gather these naturally broken shells from the Yorkshire coast, each one shaped by weather, waves, and time. Some look like fossils, some like tiny boats, and some like the sort of thing you’d find in a tide sprite’s coat pocket. I fill their hollows with resin in ocean colours — clear, blue, green — like water paused mid-flow.

Each piece is:

One-of-a-kind and lovingly handcrafted

Made with high-quality resin and shore-collected materials

Meant to be touched, tilted in sunlight, and slightly wondered at

Sometimes hung, sometimes held, sometimes gifted with a smile

Whether you’re a sea lover, a shell collector, a fidgeter, or just someone who likes beautiful odd things, I hope you find something here that feels a little magical.

Full description

What if the sea rusted beauty into a shell’s bones?

This Rusted Ocean Resin Shell is a fragment of shoreline alchemy: a naturally weathered shell whose hollow curves have been partially preserved beneath warm, amber-tinted resin. The shell’s pitted and oxidised exterior meets a glossy inner pond of clear resin—creating an impression of oyster beds kissed by seawater and sunlight, where rust and salt paint ancient patterns.

At approximately 7cm long by 4cm wide, this fragment carries character in every crack, groove, and patina. The resin pools inside like a tiny tidal basin, glowing in golden-brown hues beneath smoother edges, suggesting age, sea journeys, and stories buried in sand and salt.

Why This Shell Might Feel Like a Seaside Whisper:

Sea-wasted and handcrafted—this shell has met storms, time, and now resin magic to become fully unique.

Amber glow inside, rugged shell outside—a textural contrast that invites curious fingertips.

Calming to hold—smooth resin resting in rough whey-shell edges, comforting and grounding.

Versatile display delight—hang by its discreet steel loop, set it on a windowsill, or let it rest in a vessel among other treasured oddities.

Offers a hand to those who love seaside fragments, earthy tones, and pieces rich with texture. A perfect marine trinket for collectors, storytellers, or those who favor objects with both mystery and verve.
