Creating Sea Shell Jewelry: A Beginner’s Guide

Dive into the art of making sea shell jewelry with our beginner’s guide. Sea shell jewelry is not only beautiful but also a wonderful way to carry a piece of the ocean with you wherever you go. Whether you prefer necklaces, bracelets, or earrings, sea shell jewelry offers endless possibilities.

To start, you’ll need a few basic supplies: sea shells, jewelry findings (such as clasps and jump rings), pliers, a drill with a small bit, and strong adhesive. At My SeaShell Store, we offer a wide range of sea shells and jewelry making supplies to help you get started.
First, select your sea shells. Choose shells that are smooth, have natural holes, or can be easily drilled. Clean the shells thoroughly to remove any sand or debris. If you need to drill holes, use a small bit and take care to drill slowly to avoid cracking the shells.
Next, decide on your design. Lay out the shells and other components to see how they fit together. Use pliers to open and close jump rings and attach clasps. For pieces that require gluing, apply a small amount of adhesive and press the components together firmly.

Allow the glue to dry completely before wearing your jewelry. You can add additional embellishments such as beads or charms to personalize your pieces. Sea shell jewelry makes a great gift and can be customized to suit any style.
