| We are a small family business, established since 1986. (Jean,
Karen, Derek & Damian). We started with mainly tropical sea
shells, but now stock as many gemstones, crystals and fossils as
we do shells. We specialise in unusual gifts which can be personalised
with a name or message of your choice, which is put on while you
wait, dries instantly and better still costs no extra!
Jean can often be found sorting tiny shells and making them into
flowers, while Karen spends her time making popular models, earrings,
pendants and brooches from Fimo modelling clay. Damian joined us
on leaving school in 2004 and became a partner in 2007. He makes
some of the jewellery and fimo models and helps Jean in the office,
he also works in Belas Toys & Sports Shop next door! Derek makes
the large shells into lights which have been featured in the Sunday
Express colour supplement and Elle Decoration magazine. We also
stock a wide variety of wood carvings from Bali which are all fair
trade and are very popular. |
