Capture a heartfelt sentiment in a truly unique keepsake with this handcrafted oyster shell ring and trinket box. Made from a genuine oyster shell sourced along Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way, each piece is shaped by the sea, making every box beautifully individual in form, texture, and character.
The flat top shell forms a delicate lid, finished with a faux pearl knob that adds a soft, elegant touch and allows it to be lifted with ease. Inside, a meaningful message is revealed: “I love you to the moon and back”, accompanied by a charming moon embellishment that completes the design with a gentle, celestial feel.
The interior is carefully sealed with a smooth, glossy coating to protect the artwork while enhancing the shell’s natural tones. The outer shell is left largely untouched, preserving its organic beauty and coastal character.
Perfect for holding rings, earrings, or small keepsakes, this trinket box is both practical and decorative. Whether given as a romantic gift or a thoughtful token for someone special, it’s a piece that carries warmth, love, and a touch of the Atlantic.
The oyster is balanced on a porcelain tile base, forming a distinctive ring or trinket box that beautifully showcases the shell’s rugged exterior. The sculptural design gives the piece an almost architectural presence, making it both a practical storage dish and an eye-catching decorative object.
The transparent adhesive connecting the oyster to its base reflects light like water, evoking the ocean. This clear connection gives the impression that the shell is still embraced by the sea.
Please note that any embellishments may not perfectly match the colours or designs of the photographs shown. They will feature the same subject, but the design may differ.
Please note that our oyster ring / trinket dishes are individually made to order. Each shell passes through multiple stages of preparation and finishing to achieve a high-quality result. The final protective coating applied to the interior alone requires at least one week to cure properly. For this reason, please allow 1–2 weeks from the order date for your piece to be completed before it is dispatched.
These are wild, natural oyster shells gathered from the west coast of Ireland, and each one varies in size, shape, and natural markings. The average shell measures approximately 2″ × 3″, though some may be slightly shorter or taller, wider or narrower. As each piece is individually decorated by hand, the artwork will also vary, making every trinket dish truly unique. Any embellishments on the shell may change in design from time to time.
_____________
We believe that every shell has a tale to tell. Our oysters are from the west coast of Ireland, picked from the waters of the world-famous “Galway Bay” part of Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way.
Shells are genuinely one-of-a-kind gifts because no two are alike. They are tumbled by the wild Atlantic Ocean waves and shaped by the changing seasons, resulting in varying sizes and shapes. We work with what nature has given us. Variations such as; growth marks, ragged edges, chipped backs, and barnacles make each one special.
Every shell is individually picked, cleaned, prepared, hand-painted and decorated by our artists at our studio in Galway, Ireland.
Whether you receive this as a gift or purchase it for yourself as a decoration, a memento of a trip, or for friends or family to mark an occasion or relationship, you are becoming part of this Oyster’s tale.
