Damaged in Transit: If your shell is damaged during its journey, please contact me within 24 hours of receipt with a photo. I will immediately send a replacement or issue a full refund.
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.
Every seashell is a gift from the ocean, and I pack each one with the care it deserves, ensuring its safe journey to you.
Preparation Time: I will carefully wrap your seashells in recycled paper and twine within 1-3 business days, making it feel like a personal gift from the sea.
Shipping Method: I use reliable standard shipping and will provide you with a tracking number, so you can follow your shell’s journey.
International Orders: For shells traveling across oceans, please allow a little extra time. Sometimes customs checks can extend their journey.
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.
Hardness and Durability: Cowrie shells are known for their impressive hardness and durability. They are significantly harder than most other seashells, making them resistant to weathering and ensuring a long lifespan if properly cared for.
Historical Significance: Cowrie shells have been used as a form of currency in many ancient civilizations. They were widely traded across regions and were even used as a medium of exchange in some regions of Africa, Asia, and the Pacific Islands.
Cultural Symbolism: In many cultures, cowrie shells symbolize wealth, fertility, and protection. They have been used in religious ceremonies, as offerings to deities, and as talismans to ward off evil spirits
.
Unique Growth: Cowrie shells undergo a unique growth process called involution, where the final whorl envelops the earlier ones, resulting in a smooth, domed shape. This process makes cowrie shells nearly unique among gastropods.
Protective Features: The aperture (shell opening) on the underside is narrow and slit-like, often reinforced with tooth-like ridges or lamellae. These features not only strengthen the shell but also protect the animal by making it harder for predators to reach the soft body inside.
