Baby Oyster Shells
Baby Oyster Shells (Crassostrea spp.)
These small natural oyster shells are hand-collected from the cold, rocky shores of Maine. Their smooth curves, layered texture, and soft coastal tones make them perfect for a wide variety of creative, educational, and decorative uses. Ideal for resin work, jewelry making, miniature coastal décor, ornaments, mosaics, and beach-themed crafts, each shell reflects the authentic character of the North Atlantic.
Every shell is gathered by hand along the shoreline, then carefully rinsed first in clean ocean water and again in fresh tap water to maintain natural integrity while ensuring cleanliness. Most shells measure approximately 1 inch or smaller, making them especially useful for fine-detail projects and small-scale designs.
Whether you’re crafting wedding favors, creating ocean-inspired art, or adding natural texture to a coastal display, these tiny oyster shells bring a genuine touch of Maine’s marine environment to any project. Popular with crafters, educators, designers, and artists, they offer consistent quality with unique, organic variation.
