International Orders: For shells traveling across oceans, please allow a little extra time. Sometimes customs checks can extend their journey.

Not as Described: I do my best to represent each shell accurately through photos and descriptions. If you feel your shell is significantly different from what was described, please contact me within 7 days, and we will find a thoughtful solution.
A Note on “Change of Mind”: As each shell is a natural, unique item, I cannot accept returns or exchanges due to a “change of mind.” Please review the photos and dimensions carefully to ensure it’s the perfect “ocean companion” for you.
We are deeply committed to sustainable and ethical practices. All our shells are sourced responsibly—never from live-shelled creatures. We support marine conservation efforts and maintain transparency about our sourcing practices.
Alfonso Sea Urchins are known for their vivid pigmentation, which helps protect them from intense sunlight in shallow reef environments.
The intricate pore patterns on sea urchin shells are part of a highly efficient water vascular system used for movement and feeding when the animal is alive.
