I've been collecting seashells for as long as I can remember. From east to west, coast to coast, and shore to shore, I always find a treasure to keep, and adore.

Seashell Bracelet with Freshwater Pearls for a Summer Beach Wedding

A natural gray and white scallop shell is the centerpiece for this feminine charm style bracelet that is dripping with luscious freshwater pearls.
Big platinum pearls, white pearls, and Swarovski Crystal bicones in Black Diamond shimmer and sparkle in this one of a kind seashell bracelet that is perfect for your summer beach wedding, honeymoon cruise, or a romantic walk on the beach.
 The shell will grace the middle of your wrist, measuring 1 1/2 inches wide and nearly 1 1/2 inches long.
Live the coastal lifestyle with my handmade, carefully crafted, unique seashell jewelry. You can find this, and many more of my seashore inspired pieces at Orange Blossom Crafts on Etsy.

My newest bracelets are some of my favorite pieces! I'm really going to have to keep one for myself. I really love this one, and it looks amazing on my wrist! I'm sure it will look just as lovely on yours!

Love,
Del

Mother of Pearl Shell Pendant Necklace

I love the tear drop shaped piece of shell I used in this necklace. Shell pieces can be just as beautiful as any whole shell. I am intrigued by the shapes and colors, thick or thin, recently broken, or tumbled for eons. Whole or partial, inside or outside.

For this white and purple based shell, I wanted to match, as well as I could, to my pendant piece. The purple cats eye beads, and grooved white glass ovals were perfect. For a little pizazz, the pretty emerald faceted beads and druks were just the right touch. This is a long necklace, and would look great with a plain, no frills style top. A silky tank, camisole, or even a plain t-shirt! The toggle clasp makes it so easy to put on! I have been using more and more toggles on my own jewelry. I'm really lovin' the toggles!

You can buy this now on Etsy!

Mauve Shell Necklace in Graduated Gradients

This was a fun piece to make! I love the pearls, crystals, faceted Czech glass beads...and especially the shells! What color!!!
This is one for Etsy! When I list it (soon!) I'll post on the orangeblossomcrafts.com blog.

I am running low on my assortment of pink scallops! I so need to go shelling when there is a full moon! I still have A LOT of shells to work with...and quite a few scallops...just not many pink ones left!

Now that the hectic month of June is over, I should have more time for Etsy, pictures, and blogging!

Seashell Bracelets

I'm really loving bracelets right now! They are fun, and oh so different from anything I have found in shops! My fave is still the Mother of Pearl Shell Bracelet. The most recent shell bracelets are~

The Slipper Shell Bracelet

The slipper shell gets it's name from what it looks like on the underside (inside?) It looks like a slipper, you know~ the kind you wear.
I have found slippers in various sizes, from pinky nail size, to about 2 1/2 inches. The colors vary also, I have found white, lt.brown, dark brown, and everything in between! They are a fun, cute shell!

Yellow Hued Cockle Shell Bracelet~

This is an unusual cockle shell! It has some calico markings, along with a yellow hued stripe through the middle.



The honey colored Topaz faceted beads, and gold oval toggle go amazingly well with this shell!

These will soon be listed on Etsy!

Adustable Seashell Bracelet



Are you ready for your beachy vacation? This Pretty in Pinks adjustable seashell bracelet would be just the right touch to your beach or cruise attire! I found these pretty pink calico scallops at my fave Gulf Coast beach! It's such a nice, peaceful beach, with very few people at any given time. It's a great shelling spot, and not too far from home! Czech faceted fire polished beads with AB finish, dance between the shells, and an 8mm Swarovski Crystal with 2xAB dangles from the end.Depending on wrist size, you may get a shell in your dangle! Gold plated findings accent this pretty pink shell-y bracelet. Lobster clasp closure. One size fits most! 11 1/2" full length end to end. Can be clasped at any jump ring on the bracelet!
