Handcrafted from local lowcountry shells, hand-painted, decoupaged and finished with a high gloss interior for porcelain-like effect. Backs are gilded or natural and have an added stabilizer to sit steady on your surface! Shells are handpicked and one of a kind and natural so yours may vary slightly from the one pictured. They average between 3-4.5 inches. There may be small imperfections, as they have once been in the ocean! They are great for holding rings, jewelry or other small trinkets. They can also just sit pretty! Arrives in a gift box!
