Shell Ornaments

Original, freehand-painted ornaments on shells found along Southwest Florida beaches.

Hand Painted Original Shell Ornaments. Each Shell Ornament is freehand painted using no magnification, templates or decals. These are NOT decoupaged; hand painted only. Usually framed with a hand painted border of gold and often jewels of beads and rhinestones are added for a bit of glitz and flair. All have a hanging cord. Each are individually priced. The image of the shell shown is close to the one you receive and individually priced as noted.

The photos are samples and being individually hand painted there can be slight differences.

Shell ornaments are painted on Venus Sun Ray, Oyster, Clam and other shells found on the beaches of SW Florida. Prices start at $30, or $50+ for a commissioned image — a particular beach, a particular day. Pet ornaments on a clam shell, painted from a photograph of your pet, start at $45. Order yours for gift giving or for yourself, any time of year.
