coral reef alliance 

We have decided to partner with the Coral Reef Alliance to support the reefs that make up our underwater playgrounds.  

This charity gets a 95% rating on the Charity Navigator website, so we are certain that most of donations are used for conservation and not administrative purposes.  

The Alliance supports research, environmentally safe ecotourism, local education, jobs, and educational programs in countries all over the world.

We now sell handmade bracelets using fish nets we found on beaches around the Caribbean.  Nets are selected for color, comfort, and cleanliness.  After sanitizing the nets, we cut, shape, apply a magnetic locking clasp, and form into a wrist shape for comfortable wear.  All items are handmade.  Colors and quantities constantly change as we never know what colors and patterns of ropes we will find.   Visit our Etsy shop for more details and to order.  Contact us at shellsforsharks@yahoo.com for questions or information about bulk order pricing.

Here at Shells for Sharks, summer is the best time to collect shells and other sea treasures we use in our holiday decor and ornaments.  And when I get a basket full of shells and crab heads, what do you expect me to do? I'm a collecting and crafting FOOL in the summer! But that's OK, because as we've already talked about, Christmas will be here before you know it and these crafts I'm making now will find new homes on trees all across the country.  In fact, it's good that I'm preparing for the Christmas rush now because last year I was woefully understocked when the Etsy shopping got crazy.  Somehow Christmas

Here at Shells for Sharks, we are constantly creating and crafting new and exciting jewelry, ornaments, art, and collectibles using gifts from the sea. Some of our newest additions are sea fan earrings and sea fan glass locket charms.  The sea fans are very strong, light yet flexible, and can be dyed any color imaginable.             Click HERE to see our Etsy shop Other new items include sea glass and bead jewelry made by Paige using real, sand tumbled sea glass we find on the beaches.  The wire and hook are silver-plated and nickel free for those with sensitive ears.  As with all silver jewelry, store in an air-tight or humidity free container to prevent tarnishing. The purple of these earrings is naturally occurring.  A varnish is always applied to the sea fans to protect the color, whether the color is natural or dyed.  These earrings are super cute and light as a feather. Check in with us frequently at our Etsy shop to see what new products we offer.  Custo
